Lodger eviction by Owner2020A on July 8, 2020 @20:05

                              
I rented my one bedroom to someone without any lease and without any background check in April. No security deposits either. I live in the same house with my family.

The lodger stopped paying rent after April, keeps us harassing by sending false complaints to the city government and openly challenges us that nobody can process eviction due to moratorium in Alameda County (CA). The lodger believes the moratorium will be extended for a long time so refused our offer of all past rents forgiveness and cash for keys.

My family is in distress due to lodger's bully and disrespectful behavior. Further research in our community revealed that the lodger did a couple of years of prison time in CA state prison for fraud and very volatile and bad person. Is there a way to evict the lodger during pandemic? Thanks!

You should talk to a lawyer asap, and try to get a restraining order against your renter.

did you give him his own room or does he share any of the space that he is provided?

If he has to share any of his space - or he does not have a specified designated room to his own then he "may" not be a tenant but instead he may be a boarder. boarders may not have the same rights as a tenant.

seek a lawyer to make sure, but you might not have to wait until COVID- possible police action, you could claim he invaded your space- unless there is any evidence of the arrangement- email- text - witness.

dont forget to add his name to the deadbeat list
