Can my girlfriends roomate or land lord make me leave their condo because my she does not want me there?

Question

My girlfriends roomate agreed to allow me to stay with them temporarily and due to a disagreement she now wants me to leave after being there 3-4months. Can she or the landlord make me leave and if so, how much time am I lawfully allowed before I have to leave?

Answer 1

You are a guest in the eyes of the law.  You must leave when asked. /

Answer 2

If you are not on the lease, your right to stay there is more limited. If you are not listed as an authorized resident you are trespassing from the landlord's point of view if he wishes to press the case.

It seems you have established our version of squatters rights and need 30 days notice. But don't forget that roomie can make your (and your sweetie's) life VERY uncomfortable. It could get to the point of a restraining order and police action. You better pack up or make-nice with the roommate asap.

Answer 3

If you are not on the lease, then yes - absolutely.  You'd actually be considered tresspassing. Landlord or roomate could call the police to remove you immediately.

Worse than that, if the landlord finds out you've been living there (if you're not on lease), and this violates your g-friends lease, the landlord can evict them as well.

Doh!

Answer 4

The landlord can evict the lot of you due to an unauthorized occupant.

So, unless you want to have your girlfriend evicted, you should leave before the landlord gets involved.

If the landlord gets involved, there will be a notice to cure (remove unauthorized occupant) which allows the leaseholders only a matter of days to perform (get rid of you) before the eviction starts.
