Section 1946.5 of the Civil Code and who remains on the premises of an owner-occupied dwelling unit after receipt of a notice terminating the hiring, and expiration of the notice period, provided in

Section 1946.5 of the Civil Code is guilty of an infraction and may, pursuant to

Section 837, be arrested for the offense by the owner, or in the event the owner is represented by a court-appointed conservator, executor, or administrator, by the owner’s representative. Notwithstanding

Section 853.5, the requirement of that

section for release upon a written promise to appear shall not preclude an assisting peace officer from removing the person from the owner-occupied dwelling unit. (

Section 1980) of Title of Part of Division of the Civil Code applies to any personal property of the lodger which remains on the premises following the lodger’s removal from the premises pursuant to this section. (

section shall be construed to limit the owner’s right to have a lodger removed under other provisions of law. (

section shall be construed to limit or affect in any way any cause of action an owner or lodger may have for damages for any breach of the contract of the parties respecting the lodging. (
