Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

I own a rental condo in San Francisco that was built in 2000 and is not under rent control. Due to financial constraints and medical bills that I have to clear, I cannot afford to pay the negative on the monthly expenses of the condo.

The lease with my tenants who are four guys will expire at the end of this month. The way the lease was written made it clear that the lease will not be extended or renewed at the end of the lease and the tenants should vacate the premises at the end of the lease. Sometime in the middle of February this year, I also served a courtesy notice on my tenants that they have to vacate the premises at the end of the lease.

My tenants are now asking to stay in my condo and saying they cannot find another condo with a similar condition and low rent.

In order to evict them, 1) do I need to serve them with a 3-day notice to vacate the premises and if so, 2) when should I serve them with the notice and 3) can I myself serve it on them?

Many thanks for clarifying.
