Channel: CBS Los Angeles
[0]
you know most of us have experienced a
[2]
houseguest who has overstayed their
[4]
welcome no but what happens when they
[7]
flat-out refused to leave that's what
[9]
happened to one Orange County woman who
[11]
has two on your side to get rid of the
[14]
unwanted houseguest and yours
[15]
investigator Kristine Lazar you know
[17]
people think it's gonna be really easy
[18]
right most people would say put her
[20]
stuff on the curb and lock the doors but
[23]
it's not that easy believe it or not
[25]
there are laws that protect unwanted
[27]
houseguests she's a houseguest who has
[34]
overstayed her welcome is her name on
[36]
the living out of wendy bear's Irvine
[40]
apartment for months sleeping on her
[42]
living room floor refusing to leave I
[46]
should leave all the things you've done
[48]
to me but this isn't your apartment did
[51]
you ever think that it would be this
[53]
hard to get rid of an unwanted
[54]
houseguest oh absolutely not if I did I
[56]
never would have invited her in back in
[58]
February Wendy says an old neighbor
[60]
named anne-marie Lynch called her up and
[63]
asked her if she could come stay with
[64]
her for a few weeks when she moved back
[67]
to California from Florida she told me
[69]
that the people she was she was living
[71]
with at the time were crazy and they
[73]
were stealing her belongings and she was
[75]
desperate for a place to go Wendy says
[77]
the deal was for anne-marie to only stay
[80]
a month but when four weeks passed
[82]
she says she showed no signs of leaving
[85]
she didn't once go on a job interview
[87]
she would just spend her days sleeping
[89]
on my couch when Wendy had enough she
[92]
says she told anne-marie she was kicking
[94]
her out and that's when she says
[96]
anne-marie called the police when they
[98]
arrived Wendy says they told her the
[101]
only way she could get her unwanted
[103]
houseguest out was to a victor even
[107]
though she isn't on the lease and never
[109]
paid rent I don't understand how I can
[112]
work so hard to rent out an apartment
[115]
pay all the utilities and then have
[118]
absolutely no rights of my place at all
[120]
eviction attorney Melissa Marsh says the
[122]
cops were right it's not easy to kick
[125]
out an unwanted houseguest if you allow
[128]
a visitor into your home or I guess
[130]
somebody who's traveling a friend who
[132]
wants to move to California
[133]
they're there for more than three days
[135]
at that juncture you are forced to give
[138]
that individual a 30-day notice and
[140]
thereafter possibly face ud proceedings
[144]
in eviction court and if you try to just
[147]
throw out their stuff and lock the door
[149]
that person can then sue you for damage
[151]
to their property and an illegal lockout
[153]
Wendy did file the 30 day notice of
[156]
termination of tenancy and she applied
[158]
for a restraining order she even risked
[161]
a lawsuit and says she locked the doors
[163]
one afternoon when anne-marie decided to
[166]
leave the apartment I left for the night
[168]
went to a safe place with my daughter
[169]
came home the next day and she had
[171]
broken in through a window and was
[173]
sleeping on my floor
[174]
anne-marie denies that and says it was
[177]
Wendy who broke the window oh can I see
[185]
Wendy and her daughter now have locks on
[188]
their bedroom doors they feel like
[190]
prisoners in their own home the kitchen
[193]
we don't even use it now we've just pick
[195]
up food
[196]
I've been eating out of cans so we asked
[199]
anne-marie to leave this ridiculous
[203]
thing repeatedly she's offered to get
[206]
you a hotel right now Wendy and her
[209]
boyfriend offered to get a moving truck
[211]
and take anne-marie and her dog to a
[213]
motel and pay for a week's stay and
[216]
Marie finally agreed to leave two months
[220]
after she arrived at Wendy's apartment
[222]
it's been weeks and weeks of promising
[226]
this and I can't believe she actually
[227]
went thank you so much I know she
[229]
wouldn't have left if it wasn't for you
[231]
it's a good thing she did because in Vic
[233]
ssin proceedings can take between 30 and
[235]
60 days so it's not a quick process the
[237]
attorney says the best advice is to not
[240]
allow anyone in your home for more than
[242]
three days if they don't have a home or
[244]
an apartment to go back to
