My roommate did not pay a damage deposit, late on rent for the seconds month in a row, shes only been here 3 month. Her boyfriend came into town and has been living here for about a week and says hes staying another. I was not informed about this.
And now i hear she owes a grand to some guy because of a drug deal.. I don't know what the F**K that's all about.
Shes complaining cause we cut her off our WI-Fi (she does not help pay for)
And shes been bring people home that i don't know, me and my boyfriend have a lot of expensive stuff, and the people shes bringing home, she owes money too. I'm afraid to leave my house unattended.
QUESTION : Can i kick her and her sorry *** boyfriend out? like tomorrow? and not have legal issues on my hand?

Its unfortunate sometimes that even though a person isn't living up to their responsabilities and causing problems that they still are expected by law to have thier rights considered. Legally you either have to follow your local laws for an eviction process because of her not paying rent on time or give her 30 days written notice. If you get it to her today...not tomorrow, you can have her out by the last day of February.

NO. You can't kick any one out of their home.



You need to evict her, get a writ and have the sheriff kick her out.

do you wish to kick her out first or get your rent $?

those are 2 dif things.



why not get her out quicker?



a; give her a 5 day notice; "pay or quit."

sign and date it.

b; then, go to small claims court for UNLAWFUL DETAINER.

C; if she has not paid and is still there 10 days later, go back to court for

d; a WRIT of RESTITUTION



take that to the sheriff



in 1-3 days, he will come by and remove her



that is way faster than 30 days and you get a judgment too



[if she is not there but her stuff is, you must store it

safely for 30 days]

Every state has different laws, but typically, you're required to give 30 days written notice. Check your local laws to be sure though.
