Answer 1

Personally I would call the housing authority and declare welfare fraud. They will drop by and check it out.

Hire yourself an eviction service. It costs about 600 and will make sure everything is done correctly. If you evict for cause (sub-leasing) you do NOT have to pay any relocation fee. That is for when you evict in order to remodel or sell.

go to "nolopress.com" and buy their "california landlord tenant laws". It's $30 and worth it's weight in gold. It not only tells you the law, even for San Francisco, it provides the forms and lays out the timelines for filing and what the requirements are.

If the renter is in violation of the agreement generally the landlords word is sufficient, but you might send her a short letter telling her you are updating your records and need the names of everyone living in the house CURRENTLY. If it comes back with more names than you have on your rental contract re-serve the eviction notice and include the violation of the contract. At the end of 90 days go to court and file for eviction proceedings. They will serve the tenant with ANOTHER 30 to 90 days. At the end of that time have the sheriff's department, or whoever does civil evictions in SF, and they'll move them out. Don't notify section 8 housing until they're evicted, unless you're required to, otherwise they may quit paying and you're out the $1700 a month.
