My friend asked me for advice and since I don't know, I thought I'd ask the Y!Community!My friend has been renting out his second house (In California, USA) to a family for almost a year. Over the past six months they got later and later paying the rent ($1100). Two months ago he reduced the amount to $900 so that they could pay it. Last month they only paid $600 and this month only $300.This has put my friend in very bad financial situation. He has another friend that wants to rent the house but doesn't know how to go about evicting his current tennants.Unfortunetly, there is no lease and everything was done verbally. Legally, how does he proceed?

There has to be a good reason, Go to your local magistrate,they will let you know,you may have to file papers or to get a letter tape to the door by the clerk of the county court house.

if there is no lease then its a little easier. first u can literaly tell him to just evacuate the premesis. if he does not, then u can apply for a court warrant and then he has to get out.
