Want a room mate to move, I am leasing, his name is not on lease.?

Question

Hasn't paid in 3 months, dog pee and beer bottles all over his room. Am I in trouble? How can I get him to move out!!

Answer 1

Since he paid rent to you, you are probably considered his landlord and are required to comply with your state's landlord tenant laws.  You'll probably need to post a 3-day termination notice for non-payment, filing an eviction with your court ($50-200), and attend a court hearing (or whatever the process in you area is).  It can take several weeks or even months to complete.  You may want to negotiate a settlement with your roommate such as his voluntary termination in exchange for time to move-out.  

Your lease probably required you to seek the landlord's permission before allowing another person to live in the unit or to sublet.  You're liable to the landlord to pay all your roommate's damages to the unit.  

Google your state's landlord tenant laws.

Answer 2

Don't matter you have to give him a 30 days notice. Give it to him in writing and have a witness. You, him, and the witness sign it; if he doesn't don't matter as long as a witness signs to cover your butt. Unless its a dangerous situation that's all you can do. Dangerous meaning you feel unsafe there something like that. Good luck.

Answer 3

Tell him to leave ... he's not on the lease .   Clean  up the apartment after he leaves ... the landlord will not appreciate dog p**s in the rugs.

   Oh yes , since he's not on the lease , you could also have him removed by the police .

Answer 4

Give him 30 days notice, then take him to court and evict him and then sue him for what he owes.
