Question: I served one of my tenants with a three-day notice to pay rent or quit. He did not comply, so I served a 30-day notice to quit. If the tenant does not move out by the 30th day, should I call the sheriff to evict him?

Answer: The sheriff will not evict your resident unless you have gone through the unlawful detainer lawsuit and produced a judgment for possession. You could have filed the unlawful detainer action after the three-day notice expired; you did not need to give the tenant an additional 30 days.
Question: I recently received an application from a young married couple. He is 20 but she is only 17 . I told her she was too young to sign the rental agreement and he had to qualify on his own even though she was working. She said because she was married, she was qualified to sign. I never heard of this law. Is she right?
