My question involves an eviction in the state of: California
My Tenant is in fear of home forclosing and I reasured her that I am currently negotiating to qualify for the Hope for Home owners government program and that the home is infact not in forclosure. There are 5 months left on her lease. If she dosn't pay the rent this month what is the swiftest way for me to begin eviction and may I keep the deposit to cover the rent not paid? Does the 3 day pay or quit notice need to be served by someone other than the landlord in california and if so by whom?
