eviction in California... looks like tenant is trying to turn into squatter
in the middle of an eviction... basically it looks like the tenant is going to "move out" but letting a relative who is not on the lease or authorized to stay there continue living there. What is the best way to proceed with this?

Are you doing this yourself, with friends, or hiring a professional eviction firm?
If you are by yourself, you can do a lot as long as you have the time and capabilities to drag the remaining tenants out. Or find some real friends and they will be your backup.
If you dont have the means or the time, go through an eviction attorney. This might take time, or it might be quick depending on the circumstance.
