Can you give us more details, if you don’t mind sharing? You hired someone to clean the house, but she decided to move in, without your permission? She was hired help; you did not have an agreement to rent to her, but she decided to live there?
I am just shocked how some people can twist the law and regulations on rentals to live somewhere for free.
I suppose these laws were to protect tenants from some rather unsavory landlords. My one and only landlord was a decent guy, but there are some who aren’t. But like just about every other law, these tenant laws have made problems worse and created some new ones.
I do know that it’s difficult to remove tenants who are on public assistance. My Dad’s friend rented to a couple on welfare who proceeded to trash the apartment, then wouldn’t pay their share of the rent (most of the rent was subsidized). Took him several legal proceedings over two years and costing thousands in legal fees to finally get them out.
Then, how do you get THEM to move? Hire the Bloods?..........................
All they need is a version with a remote-enabled lock & App-reservation system.
Then the fun begins...
This should kill the Airbnb business in CA. Maybe that’s the idea.
Close the house. Turn off the water gas and lights. Go on vacation.
Ask politely. Ask politely again. Ask politely one last time.
Then it is no longer polite.
That’s awesome!
Maybe.. the thing is that this was a private deal on the side off of AirBNB. Maybe this story will keep idiots from making side deals.

I like Charlie’s method.
As an alternative, perhaps that California beauty can organize a posse and drag the squatters out. Called “forced removal”.
I wonder if you can strip the house and turn off water/power until they leave
What prevents the scammers from moving their efforts to VRBO?
I’d point a gun in their face and back-walk them to the door.
If the cops come calling, I’d suggest they are lying, and have no proof.
But they’d be out of the house. And their stuff would be in the street, though it may stink excessively. And the locks would be changed.
How this would be handled in Texas:
If they are renters and have not paid go to the local justice of the peace and get an eviction notice, it is quick and easy and cheap.
Call sheriff and he will put them out on the street.
If they are squatters, just call the sheriff as they in effect have broken and entered or you can pick up your Mossberg 12 gauge shotgun and evict them yourself.
She was simply hired to clean the house. I had moved to Arizona. She just moved in. No agreement no rent. I found out when my neighbor called and told me that she was living there. It took 3 months and ~$4000 to get her out.
Honestly, if you really want them to leave, they will leave. Taze them, kick the in the head and then throw them out. When the cops show up, you have the address and they don’t.
In Calif ... nothing. My next door neighbor was renting thru VRBO and had a squatter problem too. There are a lot of vacation rentals in that area of Calif. Squatters are a common problem there.
Dumb move that was.
