If so, the documents would be with the county courts office if filed.

He can be adamant all the way to court. 

Jonathan is right....now it is going to be tough....but once the memoratoriam is lifted, I expect the courts to be flooded with eviction cases....personally, I prefer 6 month leases as a happy medium...as opposed to month to month...which may scare off potential future renters.

Most CoD defaults in Minnesota do not involve court actions. 

My questions are, in California if someone rents out one room in their house, from what I understand, all that's needed for eviction is a 30 day written notice, no court process.

Court date has been rescheduled 2 times already!!

In practice as a CPA, we’ve had 2 clients end up in court disputes because of lousy/online OP agreements.

The attorney who runs WLB handles a large number of evictions and has a great understanding of what is required by the courts.

So even if you pick a state with stronger protections like WY or NV, the cause of action arose in the state where the tenant fell, so likely that the court where the accident happened would have jurisdiction.California tends to have more laws on the books and requirements and restrictions that it can be a good idea to form a CA LLC for out of state property so that you as a CA resident are covered, and to try to have your contracts fall under the purview of CA courts.
