Month to month lease California

[Tabor Lewis]

Just purchased our first investment property. Our friend will be living in one of the rooms and we will be renting out the three other than a month month.

is it better to do month-to-month and long term leases so that way it doesn’t work out with the tenant we can remove them easier?

also, where should we go for a month to month lease? Is online sufficient ? the California tenant laws I hear are more tenant friendly than other states so I am a bit nervous.  

Thank you!
