| | | Kicking out roommate
I am the signer of the lease I am in. I have a roommate who is destructive, inconsiderate and outright sloppy. I told her it would be best if she moved out and gave her a 30 day deadline. She is giving me problems about it and I want her out! What can I do? I am not the owner of the property, but I signed the lease.

| If she is not on the lease, you can entreat her with a police escort.

Now I'm hopeful. How do I go about doing that? | |

| Hello sunny:
She's your tenant and you have to evict her according to your states landlord tenant law. If you call the cops to have her put out, she'll tell them she pays rent, and they'll let her stay.

| If her name isn't on the lease, I'm certain that argument won't work, excon. I work in the apartment business.

| Hello again, Xeno:
I'm certain it will. I don't work much.

| How about documents? Would I have to show someone a document that I told her on a specific date that she had 30 days? It would be my word against hers, otherwise. I did write the landlord a letter explaining that I had given her a 30 day deadline. He wants her out as well because she is rude and is messing up the house, so I'm sure he could show the letter if he still had it.
I would hope it wouldn't have to go as far as calling the police on her. I would like her to pack her things (she hasn't started yet) and be out by the date I gave her. If I was leanient about it, she would just take advantage. If I didn't give her that deadline she would probably never leave and just tell me she hasn't found anywhere to go. If I can give her a nudge somehow, that would be good. | |

| XenoSapien, what if she is listed as someone who is living in the house, but isn't the signer of the lease? | |

| I only say police because my impression is that her motivation to "git" is quite low. Maybe I'm wrong about where you are at, but here, if your name ain't on the lease, you can be shipped out in a hot minute.
