Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Your rights depend upon a few factors, like, were you paying rent or was there an agreement that you would contribute to household expenses - any form of consideration given for staying in the home makes you a tenant, and the usual rules for eviction would apply (they couldn't lock you out without notice, a lawsuit and the Sheriff performing the lockout). Contact a local tenant's rights attorneyt to discuss your rights and duties.
