Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

I let my aunt move into my apartment without telling the landlord of the apartment, I am now wanting to find a new place and she doesnt want to move. What are her legal rights as someone not on the lease that is not even supposed to be there?

Unless she paid you rent or otherwise compensated you for living there, she has no rights. If she did contribute to rent or compensate you for living there then she most likely has the rights of a sub-tenant, meaning you would effectively be her landlord and would have to give her appropriate notice, etc. However as between her and your landlord, once your tenancy ends, so does her's even if she has acquired sub-tenant rights as between you and her.
