The one I am talking about was a short sale due to some health issues.

It is my belief that San Diego currently has the least LL friendly regulation (COVID related) in the country (evictions can only be for health and safety items - tenants can currently break the lease with impunity but in less than 60 days they will pay for their violations (assuming no extension)).  

Possible health issues / lost job, etc.Instead of waiting for this to go to auction I was thinking of reaching out to the couple personally to try and work out a deal.There are obviously multiple avenues I could go.

People generally emotionally, mentally and physically gravitate towards those who look - including possessions- and act and seem like them.

The family in the inhabited unit was on a month-to-month lease until a couple of months ago, at which point I had my attorney send them a 30-day notice of nonrenewal of lease.The tenants are effectively ignoring the nonrenewal notice, and my attorney has reached out directly to these tenants a number of times in order to offer them more time to vacate, as they are a little older, aren't in the best physical health, and have an adult son for whom they care.My attorney is communicating with the tenants on my behalf, exclusively, as I wanted to be as legally cautious as possible.The tenants are not responding to my concession to allow more time to vacate (they asked for an additional six months - unreasonable - I countered with two months), and they still claim to my attorney that we have a valid lease, despite there being a valid nonrenewal notice having been issued.

I have no idea where he is I tried everywhere I heard it was a mental institution.

In San Diego, you can currently only evict for health and safety.  

For Gray water, its a health hazard. 

You don't get any benefits like health insurance (be ready to buy your own: it's crazy expensive unless you find a group plan of some sort that caters to real estate professionals).
