    Default Subletting in Violation of Lease, How to Get My Subtenants Out

    My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: CA
    I let my niece & her boyfriend stay with me to save money to get an apt. They stayed for the months of Feb. & March for free & left for May (I kicked them out). They returned in May, 2011, with the stipulation that the boyfriend would then pay very cheap rent. May he gave me $250.00 plus $50.00 utilities. My niece lived here for free as family. I have received several complaints about the boyfriend for disturbing the peace. I am afraid he will get ME evicted! I had to call the police last night for all his yelling & screaming. (bad temper). My landlord wants anyone not on my lease out. The owner is coming to inspect the property on Monday 6/20/2011. I asked them to leave by Sunday to avoid MY being evicted. Do I have any legal rights? He paid rent in May, he then borrowed back $235.00 and still owes it. His June rent was 8 days late plus he still owes the $235.00. The complaints are always about him. I want my home back. Can I get him out sooner?
    Can the landlord tell me anyone subletting is doing so illegally and must vacate? I hope this gives
    you all the facts. No good deed goes unpunished. My rent is $1,100.00 and he has once given me
    the $250.00 but late. Please help, I don't want to lose my home and they are saying they have no where to go. So I need a way to make them leave before I get a 30 day notice.

    You can ask them to leave, but they're your tenants - the fact that you're violating your lease by subletting to them doesn't mean that you have any right to summarily evict them. If they have not paid rent you can issue a three day "pay or quit" notice. If you need to have them out by Monday, you had best start trying to work out a resolution that involves their voluntarily departing before that date.
