Tenant leaving after 30 days notice,illegal roommate won’t leave

I have a tenant who broke a leasing agreement for only all the reasons possible. Illegal roommate, disturbing behavior and non payment. I sent the 30 days notice to quit. In the last day of the notice he was hospitalized. Couples days after the end of 30 days he called and explained and asked me to open the door to his brother so he can get the tenant’s belongs. The problem is that now, the roomate that I’m said in the notice as one of the reasons to break the leasing agreement, won’t open the door for the tenats’s brother to get his stuff. Can I open the door, without problems? The roommate said he won’t leave. What to do?

dunno about your state, but in CA, we just give a 24 hour notice to enter. We can stick it on the door, anywhere visible.

If I do that, I take pictures of the notice where it's stuck on, as proof.

Then we enter guns blazing at the 24 hour mark.

As for the illegal tenant, if he's been there over 30 days, you might have an ugly eviction on hand. Otherwise, maybe you can get him out as a trespasser.
