My brother bought a house recently and he let his friend who was homeless move in because he got a job. The idiot quit the last 3 jobs in this economy! over stupid things! So no he still doesnt have a job and hasnt paid rent. Tere is no lease agreement. BUT WE LIVE IN CA! I cant seem to find it in the landlowrd tenant laws.

He lives in the house with the guy so i know you can discriminate ALOT more if you occupy the place yourself. But he's afraid that if he kicks him out that he can come back after him. Never heard of that if you live there yourself but can someone point me to a law that they know? He thinks he has to go to the sheriff and get a legal 30 day notice thing. go through the whole process to get rid of him. Thats what his "friend" told him who is a realtor. Anything anyone knows?

treat him like any other tenant/roommate and follow the letter of the law as your state prescribes it or your certainly in trouble.
