    Red face Can I Get The Cops Involved Or Change The Locks?

    My question involves a roommate in the State of: California

    I served my roommate a 30 day eviction notice. 23 days have passed and she is supose to leave in exactly 7 days. None of her things have even remotely been touched/ packed. I am so scared she is not going to leave on time!

    I found a new roommate, and this person would prefer to move in ASAP. (Already signed a rental agreement that states the move in date to be the day after eviction date) Problem is, I am no longer communicating with my present roommate. Things went down real bad and I wish never to speak to this person again.

    I basically signed a rental agreement with the departing roommate less than a year ago and do not live in rent controlled housing. My landlord does not know of this "subleasing" and would prefer leaving him out of it.

    Do I have the right to call and cops and have my roommate forcefully taken out of my house and/or change the locks?

    You are going to have to follow the same procedure landlords have to follow to legally get the tenant to leave.
