    Can I Be Kicked Out of a Sober Living House
    My question involves an eviction in the state of: california

    My question has to do with being kicked out of a sober living house when no lease was signed. I paid for a room in a sober living house and recently have been being intimidated to leave. The owner of the house said i had until sundown and then he would throw my stuff out on the curb. I have done nothing to warrant my dismissal. There justification is they don't like my attitude. I have paid thru the end of the month and i am curious to know what my legal rights are. Should i pray for them to kick me out so i can start legal action of should i try and negotiate a way to stay?
    Thanks, Jake

    If the sober living house is properly set up as part of a therapeutic program, they should be able to kick you out. Your bad behavior can be a threat to the sobriety of the other residents.

    If not, and they're instead in a standard landlord-tenant arrangement, they would have to evict you. I of course have no way of knowing how this house was set up, or if it's part of a therapeutic program. Talk to a lawyer or legal aid.
