Landlord rights to evict a roommate during house sale.
As a landlord, I'm trying to evict a roommate from my house which is being sold. The roommate doesn't want to move and demands a moving fee of $5k. Him and I don't have any Leas agreements and he lived with me for seven months paying cash on a monthly basis. The roommate is occupying a room which requires him to pass in and out through the main entrance/living-room/balcony which is occupied by me (the owner and primary residency). I.E. the roommate doesn't have a separate entrance to his room. The fact that he passes my dwelling in/out is a great inconvenience for me as well.
What rights as a landlord do I have to evict him. I'm currently at a point of hiring a lawyer because the roommate is not cooperating with me and wants me to pay him even more. Does the roommate (that doesnt have a lease agreement and doesnt have a separate entrance to his dwelling) have the same rights as the Tenant under San Francisco rent controll laws?
What form's if any can I serve him to evict the place? Can it be done for free or do I need to pay anything. Also I'm trying to evict him ASAP as I have potential buyers.
