Evicting a tenant follow up question

[Tien Nguyen]

Hello again,

I'm a newbie landlord posted a question a few weeks ago. I have a tenant currently who had illegal drugs and was subletting to other people I did not know about. That roommate subsequently shot somebody at the house (non fatal). 

So I am going thru the eviction process. For evidence I have the police report, but it doesn't say much. It just says that there was an arrest at the house on that date. Is there anything more I need to do to provide evidence? Just want to be prepared for court. Not sure since this is my first time evicting a tenant.

Thanks in advance for your advice! You guys rock :)

@Tien Nguyen  Obtain the services of a qualified attorney who specializes in landlord-tenant law for your jurisdiction. Not only because you are new to this, but also because you are in California. Too high a risk to do it yourself. Hopefully your rental agreement is a good one and your documentation of all the events is solid.
