Landlord as Roommate - Rights
I have a house that I decided I needed to share by renting a room in the house. I had a roommate move in as the "Tenant" in my home and requested that they sign a lease for a 6 month lease. After three months, I have decided that this is not a compatible living situation. He has insulted or imposed on several people on the street, besides me, has lied about the dumbest things, such as pouring hot grease in the yard (which left an area of dead grass), cigarette butts everywhere, dinged up kitchen cabinets already, etc... These are incompatibilities but there have been numerous material breaches to the contract that he has signed such as neglecting to ever give me the deposit, breaching the no-pet clause by bringing in a hermit crab and breaching over and over the "...shall be occupied solely by...unless written permission is provided..." clause by bringing in very shady overnight strangers for trysts and bringing his FOUR unruly children for almost every single weekend for the last three months. I was told verbally that when he visited them, it would usually be in the town where they currently live with their mother. Am I responsible, as a Landlord/Roommate, for all Mississippi Landlord requirements regarding the breaking of a lease early? I have material breaches but I really do not think it will work, whether he pays the deposit, keeps his rent and utilities current, which he has not, and stopped bringing guests. What rights do I have?:confused:
