Q & A with Prop West: Rent Control

Q) I have a tenant who issued a 30-day notice that he would be vacating. I was very happy to receive that notice, as his rent is very low and this is a rent controlled apartment. I sent him a letter acknowledging the fact that I received his notice. He now informs me that he has changed his mind and does not want to vacate. Can I force him off the property?

A) Since you accepted his notice, you have the right to proceed with an unlawful detainer, if the tenant fails to vacate.
