Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

My nephew has lived with my mom for 3 years and is now 20 years old. He's doing drugs and has taken money from my mom. She will not press charges but wants him out of the house. He has no agreement and has not ever contributed financially. How much if any notice does she need to give him?

None. If he has not paid rent, his status is no different from a dinner guest who refuses to leave - he's a trespasser. He can be removed immediately. Unfortunately if he is a user and stealing, he'll probably be back, either weaseling his way back in, or breaking and entering, to get more money from her. She probably needs an elder financial abuse restraining order to keep him away.
