If you are paying rent, then they must file a rent and possession Petition. This can take soem time. If you are nto paying rent, then they must give you three days notice and then file an unlawful detainer action. Once you ar eserved, the case will be set for a docket call. If you dispute your friend's claim that you do not have right to live there, then the court will set the case for trial about a week later. Depending upon the time fo year, it can take about 20 to 45 days from the day you are given the notice to move out until the court orders you to leave. You did not indicate why you are staying longer than your friend wants you to.

Good luck
