- MisdemeanorsIf the tenant enters the property without permission or refuses to leave after being given permission to enter the premises for the purpose of moving, the landlord should call the local police and the tenant can be arrested for violation for either 602.5 Penal Code (unauthorized entering or remaining in non-commercial dwelling house) or 419 Penal Code (re-entry on land after legal ouster). Both charges are misdemeanors for which the local Police Department can be called. It is no longer a Civil problem, and the Sheriff’s Civil Section will not enforce.
