I saw some about ways to evict people being one three days pay or quit). I know I have to go via the court procedure, but I hear horror stories make this a very long process. At times giving breaks to the tenants to giving them extra time (30 days to 60 days before they are evicted).
It's going to be at least 30 days, no matter how you handle it - and maybe longer. A Three-Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit does not mean you can kick the tenant out in three days! You will still have to go through the eviction process.
Definitely time to do some research on evictions in your state...
Get off the computer and spend part of a day at the court of jurisdiction for landlord/tenant. You will discover 2 things, court clerks are available for initial filings for both tenants and landlords- that's free. If you keep it to a simple non-payment you might, just might be able to do this yourself. Much of the lessor courts are set up to do simple motions for the non lawyer, from giving legal notice to taking your judgement to the sheriff for physical eviction. By the end of the day you will have a pretty good idea of how long it will take. Many of the horror stories you hear and read about involve professional tenant litigants who can play the system to their advantage.
The other thing you'll discover is who the landlord lawyers are. The guy with the shiniest pants and tallest pile of briefs is the guy to talk to. I would recommend a lawyer. Non payments are nobrainers for these guys and they know how to do it the quickest.
I might be a jerk but i give real advice contrary to others who offer gratuitous regurgitations from hammering the keyboard with their johnson.
Believe me this is advice I need what to do exactly and some brief explantions of what I will have to go through. I really appreciate straight to the point it really means a lot.

Well I was pretty sure it wouldn't be 3 days and hes out, but 30 days sounds about right. Ya I have been doing research.
The thing is to see how things go through by this week (if she will pay the rent or not) if not than its the next prosecures to take. Making decisions etc (my dad being the one in the final world), but I feel I have to help since he really doesnt get English. Believe me I appreciate all the advice.
It has advice regaring terminating and evicting a tenant. Note: California laws heavily favor the tenant and the landlord can create some real problems and penalties for themselves if they do not do everything by the book. Proceed with caution here.

Thanks I will check into that. Apparently she paid half and is working out (which seems progress on her side). I will take that into note just incase things get worse. Thanks for the link.
Did I say anything about it's "poor English skills"??? It's you my friend that has made a presumption about what I may or not have meant. I asked a simple question.
You didn't have to, your question spoke volumes. And I'm not your friend.

I hope whatever state your mama is homeschooling you in, requires some sort of yearly testing. However, special ed might be exempt.
