Hire a lawyer immediately. There is no way the landlord is going to successfully deal with this on their own. If you would like a no-obligation initial consultation in my San Jose office, feel free to give me a call or send a private email.
I agree. My advice to landlords who have tenants who are not paying rent is to evict them immediately. That process is commenced by serving the tenant with a three (3) day pay or quit. Regardless of your attempts to short sell, no one wants a tenant in property who is not paying rent and is making the landlord's life difficult.
