    If they are both on the rental agreement (lease or month to month) you must evict both of them - and then you invite the "good" one back.

    I have seen instances where the Judge will evict just the "bad" tenant but not when it's a couple because the Judge doesn't want to walk into some sort of domestic or family law situation.

    Maybe if you evict them both the "bad" one (knowing he/she is the problem) will just go and the "good" one won't have to move.

    I have evicted roommates but advised one that I would be re-renting to him.
