My question involves an eviction in the state of: CA
I'm building a house in a rural area. Theft is rampant. What I did is I turned a storage facility into a temporary living space: small bathroom and bedroom. Both of these are illegal. Rented it out to someone who had a job nearby for the price of utilities. I figured someone would watch the materials and fixtures being installed while the main house was being built. It worked well for a while. Then the tenant got into some sort of dispute at work and quit his job. Unemployment is a mess in CA these days because of some software upgrade so he is not getting money from the governor so he is not paying me for utilities. He has acquired a sense of entitlement to the property. In the past he paid me cash for rent/utilities and has no written document of a rental agreement but has left a trail by using the mail box and paying for cable tv/internet at the address.
My current plan is to tell him that I made a mistake and have decided to dismantle the bathroom. In essence that's an eviction. What is true is that I made a mistake and want to back out of it but I am not sure what is the best way to do this is now. Any ideas/suggestions?
