When you buy a duplex /triplex/quadruplex in Bakersfield or San Bernardino, Ca. You have tenants who have been there on a lease for a few years month to month. How hard is it to evict them in todays pandemic times? Any tips or  horror stories or suggestions from California Investors would be much appreciated.

Zul, evictions are not as simple as they were pre-pandemic, so this is a great question for an attorney (I am not one). There are additional steps that have to be taken to evict someone who is behind on rent. That said, we've still been able to vacate properties for unit remodeling. The cost is the real nightmare story... Average cost for evictions has gone from $600 to $2,500, with no guarantees.
