Garry Link is the best eviction attorney I have seen he is located in Sacramento his website is teamlink.com. If you would like the rest of his contact info pm me he has done 43,000 evictions and counting according to his website. Best of luck and I would also be looking for a new management company. As a property manager we are always looking for solutions before it gets to the eviction process sometimes there is nothing that can be done but most of the time there is a solution that works for all parties involved.

I would start to advertise one week before she is out of the house with a coming soon add to get the perspective applicants lined up but not process any of the applications until you have the keys to the property and know when it will actually be move in ready.

Let me start out by saying that I am a property manager in the greater Sacramento area and that I live in Rocklin. I had a home owner that wanted $500 more a month than the market would allow in an A neighborhood but his home was out dated and a very bad floor plan. He would not listen to my suggestions about pricing and his home sat for 41/2 months I eventually talked some since into him and the home rented two days after we lowered the price to market rents. 

look at hotpads.com and see what PM's are the most prominent in that area and that is who I would reach out to. 

You could always let them make you a few installment payments for the back rent if you are so inclined, but I personally would never use the deposit for rent while the tenants are still in the home.

never use the security deposit for rent if the tenant is still in the home. serve the legal notices and start the eviction process. The security deposit is for damages and unpaid rent when they vacate the home. what are you going to do when they leave and you have repairs that need to be done that they caused. 

If the unit is still tenanted I would do a $35 dollar increase for another year lease or $50 if they want to stay month to month.

You start high and lower the price weekly until you start to get enough traction. if you only get contacted three times in a week you should lower the price if you get contacted twenty times a day your price is to low it is all about finding the happy medium.  

I live in Rocklin. Trying to find a cash flow positive rental in the areas mentioned is going to be hard to do with the market the way it is right now. 

I work for a property management company in the area. If you want  private message me I will give you my contact information.
