My question involves an eviction in the state of: California
I live with my girlfriends parents. I do not pay rent as I am unemployeed (like many) but clean house in exchange for room and board basically.
Lately my gal and I have not been getting along becuase I like to get out of the house. I go see my best friend since the 3rd grade, or go for walks or bike rides. All she wants to do is stay at home and fall alseep watching TV.
Anyhow.... the other day she took my set of keys away though she says her father did it. I came home to a locked door and they would not let me in. Finally they did the next morning but I am curious how I handle this if they do it again. (I am only 19, both my parents are dead and have no family in the state).
Can they legally lock me out or kick me out? Don't they have to go through giving me 3 day notice and then the courts to evict me (if I cannot find another place with three days and leave voluntarily)?
Thanks for any help; I am scared I will be homeless and lose what little belonging I have....
