Hi, I am having a hard time getting into my own apartment. In may I signed a lease with my best-friend to help her out so that she could get an apartment because she had bad credit. ANother one of our mutual friends was moving in with her daughter and leaving the spare room for me if I needed it. I a few months before decided to move in with my boyfriend at his place and we had agreed we'd keep the third room open for me. Well problems arrose where the other girl moved out and my friend who is on the lease with me found other roommates, a couple well at the last minute they moved in their friend to live in the last room, my room. ANd now that me and my boyfriend are having problems and I want to come to my apartment, she's telling me "no" and I am more than willing to give them 30 days notice. When I originally told her this she told the roommate that was in my room well the other roommates are saying if he has to go then they will too, and now my friend is saying she's not going to let me move in. What I am doing is unfair. Please help what should I do? I signed that lease to help her and to always guarantee a place for me to live because I can't go back to my moms house, so what should I do? Should I go to the rental office? SHould I send them an eviction notice, or should I call the cops and have them removed?

I just realized that you haven't received any answers.

Your scenario in your questions is a bit confusing, but I think I get the main point.

Who signed the lease at the apartment where your Best Friend (you might want to question that at this point... ) is living? Both of you, or just you? Does the landlord know that you're on the lease and not living there? Does the landlord know that there are other people living there? Who pays the rent? If it winds up being just you and your friend will she stay? Can the two of you afford the rent on your own?

If you're on the lease and there are people living there who aren't I'm sure you could have them evicted, but it sounds like you may wind up living there solo if all of that happens.
