Q & A with Prop West: Rent Control

Q) I have a rent controlled unit in the city of Los Angeles. I do not have a rental agreement with one of the tenants. Last year, this tenant brought in a roommate. I never accepted any rent from this person. I have now learned that my original tenant has vacated and this roommate does not want to leave. What rights do I have?

A) This roommate can be forced to vacate. The tenancy ended once the original tenant vacated. You can serve a 3-Day Notice to Quit on this person and commence an eviction if the roommate refuses to evict.
