A: If you have a sub tenant that will not pay his rent you can evict him by serving him with a 3 day notice to pay rent or quit, and if he does not pay the rent listed on the notice, you can start an eviction action against him. On the other hand if you want to evict him for harassing and threatening you and disturbing your sleep at night, that is a 3 day notice to quit due to behavior that cannot be cured. You should discuss with a local eviction attorney in your area. Justia disclaimers below, incorporated herein.
