Unauthorized tenants won’t leave

[Sam Abe]

Hi, I have a property in north Hollywood ca that I leased out to a family.

They actually never lived there and were running Airbnb which I didn’t know about. Finally she informed me that she is leaving but she has people in 2 rooms that are not leaving even though she has moved all the other Airbnb furniture out.

How can I get these people who I don’t know and never signed a lease with not collected rent or anything to leave.

They have lived there for many months but I never knew what was going on and the lady o rented to paid me rent up h til now as she was apparently making lots of money renting rooms.

Will cops help me get them out? I don’t even know who is living on my property now. Since my renter us leaving she turned off the utilities too.

@Brian R. Tenant we rented to is willing to move and vacated the premises today actually.

Now we are just stuck with someone in our house and don’t know what to do. We don’t have their name contact nothing.

Since your tenant is the lease holder, I'd tell her she's not out until all her peeps are out. I'd file on the tenant name + all occupants and I'd make sure she knew her name is going to be on the  eviction filing. While that would probably fly where I am in Ohio, I sure don't know about the great state of California.
