Are you, or are you not, exempt from AB1482? From the context of your post, I'm guessing that you're not exempt, meaning that you're required to follow the tenant-favoring eviction laws.

And that's a real shame, because the rules to evict a tenant in order to do a remodel are quite strict, and getting even more strict on April 1. Beginning April 1, in order to do a no-fault eviction for a “substantial rehabilitation”, you'll need to show county/city permits first. Look up SB567.

Are you aware that if you proceed with a no-fault eviction you're required to pay the tenant the value of one month's rent for that inconvenience?

You didn't mention where you are in California. You could have even more restrictions in your locality.

Is your tenant still in violation of the lease? Do they currently have a room subleased out? Are they currently running a business from the residence? What proof do you have? Lease violations enable you to serve 3-day cure or quit notices. Do this now and follow through. It's probably worth the cost to get an attorney to help you.
