Question

If two people signed a lease is it possible to remove the other one if they dont live there anymore?

Answer 1

The only way to remove any one party from the lease is if all of the parties to the lease agree to it in writing.

The landlord and the tenant that moved out would have to agree to sign off on it.

Answer 2

I believe so. You should check with your landlord, but I am sure they can take your name off the contract.  

Answer 3

yes you can but depending on you landlord and your lease they might charge the other person a early termination fee for breaking there part of the lease

Answer 4

That is up to your landlord.  A good explanation as to why the other person moved out will help your cause.  It is totally possible but might take some convincing on your part.
