    Default How Do I Get Roommate's Boyfriend Out of My House

    My question involves a roommate in the State of: Georgia

    My roommate (a friend of mine), and I signed a lease & moved into a house in August of this past year. The landlords are friends of mine that have moved to Zimbabwe for a year, and have trusted me with their house. They met my friend before they left, and I vouched for her.

    As soon as she moved in so did her boyfriend (who's going through a divorce right now). I was too nice at the beginning, and pretty much didn't say anything about him living there. Even when it came time for rent to be paid, and he didn't chip in anything. I realize that I was too nice, and should have put my foot down about that. He hasn't paid one month's rent, any bills, or helped around the house the entire time we've all lived there.

    The issue is that he drinks heavily every night, and usually keeps to himself, but every now & then they will get into huge fights. The most recent one (in December) happened at 4am, and eventually I got involved because my friend woke me up, and was worried. He had stolen her car and purse, and driven around the corner to sleep in her running car. He's never been intentionally harmful to her, but he has been physical with her when he gets like this. He rolled her arm up in the car window, and started to drive off when she found him. She had to wrench her arm out of the window on her own, and there was a mark on it for 2 days after that.

    Eventually, I calmed him & her down, and everyone went to sleep, but the next day I explained to her that I don't feel safe with him being there anymore. She agreed with me, and then they made up a couple of days later, and expected me not to say anything. Basically, I've been struggling for months to get him out of my house, and I don't know what to do. They told me that he would be out by today, but nothing is packed. He's not moving. What legal action (if any) do I have in getting him out of my house.

    The unfortunate deal is this: Your roommate can have house guests (consistent with the lease), as can you. It's not at all uncommon for roommates to find that they don't like the other roommate's boyfriend, that he spends "too many" nights at the home, that he's obnoxious, or that they simply don't like their roommate - none of which changes the roommates' respective rights or obligations.
