    If the house is in foreclosure I suspect the bank will take care of the tenant, though if this is a short sale it may be on you. Talk to the bank, see if they can help?

    Ultimately you should consult a lawyer in Calif. To evict the person, be very very careful if you chose the DIY route as there are some severe pitfalls you can stumble into. I am not an attorney in Calif. So I don't know the rules there, but most states have tenant protection statutes that can double or triple the "damages" caused to the renter (increased rent for new place, moving expenses, storage, etc... ) and sometimes worst of all the landlord getss tuck with the tenants lawyers billl on top of everything else.

    Good luck,
