Does the roommate doing the evicting have to do it through the courts if the roommate being evicted is not on the lease but has lived there for five months |
Answer:
Roommates can't generally "evict" another roommate; that's something a landlord does. If your roommate is not "on the lease" then they have no legal interest in the property. You can just call the police and tell them that the roommate is trespassing and you'd like them removed.
