I believe for non-payment of rent, proper notice is 3 Days. I would serve this tenant this notice. You can mail it and place it on the door of the room. It must clearly state in the notice that your tenant must pay the rent to "name of Landlord" at "address of landlord" on or before the expiration of "3 days" (not including weekends or holidays). There is a notice on this web-site. If your tenant does not respond by vacating the unit, than you will need to go to court and file for his removal. Be careful to not change the locks. Also checkk with your local housing agency. Sometimes room-mate situations can be different, especially when the landlord is living in the same home.

Posting 3-Day Notice in CA: If the landlord can't serve the notice on tenant personally or by substituted service, the notice can be served by taping or tacking a copy to the rental unit in a conspicuous place (such as the door of the rental unit) AND by mailing another copy to tenant at the rental unit's address. SERVICE of the notice IS NOT COMPLETE until the copy of the NOTICE HAS BEEN MAILED. Begin counting the three days on the first day AFTER the day the notice was served. If the third day falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, the three-day period will not expire until the following Monday or nonholiday.
