    Default Can a Co-Tenant Evict You

    Three people signed a lease together. Two of them were dating. One member of the couple and the third roommate stopped getting along. Now the couple has served the third roommate with a notice of eviction, and say that the third roommate has to move out. Can they evict a roommate who is on the lease?

    Default Re: Can a Co-Tenant Evict You

    No, a roommate cannot evict another roommate who is on the lease. However, it may make sense for the third roommate to try to negotiate a departure from the premises, and to include the landlord in the negotiation -- and make sure that if they do agree to move, that they're released from any further liability under the lease.
