It must go through the courts. Here's a link to help get you started: http://www.dca.ca.gov/publications/landlordbook/evictions.shtml

I manage property in California. This book details all your options very well.

You want to read the California Eviction Book. It even has the forms you'll need.
The first thing to do is to serve them with a 3 day pay or quit form. This must be written correctly and served properly. After the 3 days, you must file a unlawful detainer in superior court.
The book outlines all your options and how to combat any professional renters. In an uncontested eviction, it should cost you around $500 and 17 days.

Tenants have crazy rights here. You cannot change the locks, turn off their utilities, or anything along those lines. You MUST follow the proper procedure or they can sue you and they'll probably win.
That link to the DRE's web site has tons of information. Good luck!

Don't waste time trying to doi it yourself. Get an attorney to handle the "unlawful detainer"
If you try it yourself and do one tiny thing wrong (like service)
you have wasted your efforts and must start all over.
If your tenant is a professional deadbeat, it could take 6 months to get them out and get possession of your home.
