It sounds like you're in a tough situation. In California, tenant rights can depend on the specifics of your living arrangement. Here are some general points:
- If you have a rental agreement, she cannot evict you without proper notice and legal procedures.
- If you don't pay rent or have a formal agreement, you may have fewer protections.
Do you have a written lease or rental agreement?
