Given 60 Days Notice How Likely Will to Leave on Their Own
My question involves an eviction in the state of: ca
Not sure if this goes in this section, but can't find a better one.
We gave 60 days notice to vacate to a tenant #1. In CA you don't have to give them a reason as long as the reason is not illegal. BTW we have very good reasons. It is pretty clear the house guest of tenant # 1 vandalized (we are taking about real damage not just a dent) one of our coin/washing machine and they said they saw tenant #2 do it in writing. But I have a police report that absolutely clear that tenant #2 did it. And you can reasonable conclude from the police report that the guest from tenant #1 did the deed. So tenant #1 lie to cover the vandalism of his guest and his house guest broke into the coin/washing machine.
So after they got their 60 days notice I got a letter from them saying they want a 3 month extension total of 5 months. AND they accused me of discrimination because I was complaining about their auto repair (last time they yelled at me and hang-up the phone on me when I talked to them about it). There are no car repair allow on the property but more than one tenant are doing it. We enforce with everyone evenly, but we are not there 24hr a day. They think they got the 60 days notice for this. I talked to my lawyer they said the discrimination issue will not stand-up in court. My lawyer does not advise me telling them what the reason for the 60 day notice.
My lawyers said I may want to consider letting them stay for the 5 months because of financial reasons (no court cost, they paid the rent etc).
What would you do?
If I say no to the extension how likely they will to court, what do you think what is you experience? They said they want to stay the 5 months so their daughter can finish the school year and it would be a hardship for them to move in 60 days. I think the have the financial means to move, they just don't want to. From their letter they seem to be concern about their credit and references. It think they have gotten legal advice and they know they will lose in court.

We cannot tell you how likely it is that a particular tenant will move on time. You can ask them, or offer them some sort of incentive if you think it will help. You can make it clear that if they don't move on time you'll be filing an eviction. Whatever you think might work.
