Where in ca

Good luck Tough state for landlords in general
If both names are on lease, you must evict both FOR CAUSE if during lease term
If m2m you can try terminating with MERELY proper notice IF YOU ARE NOT RENT CONTROL OR STABILIZED.

Have the police gotten involved in roommate disputes ?

Most judges WILL NOT evict paying, current tenants
Stay out of roommate drama
If m2m and you are not controlled or stabilized you can raise rent

Your tenant can offer her roommate cash to leave.

Many thanks for the replying. I agree that I should stay fair. The best option ( if possible) is the roommate pay the rent on time and moving forward smoothly till the end of the lease. Is it ok that I terminate the lease when 1 year end and sign a new lease with the daughter ( good tenant ) only? The original lease is 1 year lease then it turns to month by month automatically. I am wondering what do you suggest for new lease if for less hassle in handling roommate issue? Shall I sign lease with the daughter only and allow her to sublease? In this case, if the daughter doesn't pay the rent, can I evict all one include subleased tenants? Of I should sign one lease with all tenants ( roommates ), and explicitly document how much each one pay so that I can evict individual tenant if one roommate doesn't pay? Many Thanks!
