    Getting Rid Of Roommate
    Can I evict my roommate out if she is not on our lease and pays her rent to us? She pays rent on time, but comes home late, and is loud at all hours of the night.
    What can I do?
    I'm from Alberta, Canada.
    Thanks!

    That's actually the ONLY way YOU can evict her. If she's on the lease, then the landlord has to handle it. Not being on the lease means she's YOUR tenant.

    If she does not have any lease, she's a month to month tenant. This usually means you can terminate her tenancy with a month's written notice. If she refuses to leave, then you go to court. Check with your local housing department for the specific rules for your area.

    OKay Thanks! I just kind of wanted her out sooner then 30 days. She was caught stealing from work, and now I am worried that she will steal from me. My landlord has given me full reins to do whatever I please I just don't want to get sued doing it.
    Thanks!

    Since she is up to date in her rent and hasn't stolen from the premises, then you have to give her whatever notice is required by your area.

    Lock your things up.

    LAndlord and Tenant Question about Eviction
    I am letting a friend rent from me, and there was no Rental Agreement sheet filled out and we never did talk about what would happen if things went south... She is great with paying rent and her half of the bills... How soon can I Legally kick her out. She was also just caught from work.

    First, please don't start nw threads over the same issue.

    Sorry, but I have bad news for you. According to this site:
    Legal Information About Landlord and Tenant Law in Alberta you have to give 3 tenancy months notice unless you can prove a breach.
