Kicking out a roommate in Hawaii
I have a one year lease on a home. I asked a roommate to leave over extreme inconsiderate/rude behavior as well as negligent behavior that put the safety of one of my pets at risk. He has refused to acknowledge/apologize for his behavior and I would like to force him out.
Details: He is not on the lease. Technically, he is on an oral month to month agreement but we did discuss his plan to leave in Jan 2012.
If someone can help me with the following questions, I would be most appreciative:
Am I right to assume that because he is not on the lease (I am the sole lease signer) and we do not have a sub lease, or any written agreement, he only has rights as a tenant?
In my notice to quit, should I list reasons?
Does HI law require 30 or 45 days? I think I could argue cause for removal and issue a five day notice, but I'm hesitant to be that forward leaning.
I have explained the situation to the landlord, but I wonder what my obligations are under the law?
Thank you very much.
