    Default How To Get Rid of Bad Roomates

    Hello all. I'm new to the site, and would like to say Hi. But anyway, my question to you is this: Me and my girlfriend are living with 2 other roomates, and it has been since June 1st. Me and my g/f are the ones that actually signed the lease, and the other 2 are stated in the lease to be "the only ones allowed to reside in addition to the renters". Now, they have become rather.... troublesome, and we would like to be rid of them. It even came to an incident where we called the cops, and they said we couldn't evict them cause they established residence. As a side note, 1 roomy hasn't paid crap because he won't get a job, and the other pays occasionly. There is no actual written agreement between us and them for rent payment though. How can we be rid of them?? We live in Pittsburgh, Pa. Thanx in advance!!

    That's unfortunate. Without reading your lease it appears from what you write that they aren't tenants, but are occupants. If so, you should be able to avail yourself of the courts to evict them, whether for nonpayment of rent or simply by termination of a periodic tenancy.

    So I wouldn't be in my rights to just kick them out(with 30 days notice of course)? I would have to go thruogh the court system?

    Pennsylvania appears to have eliminated self-help evictions, which means you would have to go through the court.
