When you want to evict a tenant who is occupying the premises on a month-to-month basis, give the tenant a 30-day notice to quit, get a summons for unlawful detainer from the court, and appear at the hearing to argue the case. If you win, obtain a writ of possession and have the sheriff evict the tenants.

No, the landlord can use the deposit for other costs set out in the lease. For instance, some leases state that the tenant agrees to pay the cost of carpet cleaning once she moves out. If that part of the lease is proper, the landlord can deduct for that charge.That is okay if the landlord wants to do that.
