Thanks so much in advance,MauricioHi Mauricio,If it were mine, I'd stay out of it 100%.I'd let the courts tell these two what the laws of California have to say about this.You have a disability renter in a SFH, and they have stated they are ready to go to court.That's where I'd leave it.As long as the monthly rent keeps coming in, I'd let the Judge sort it out for them.https://www.youtube.com/watch?

Most all lenders are going to be requiring a payment of some sort.
