    Question How To Legally Remove a Roommate Whose Name Is Not On The Lease

    I live in Florida and I have a roommate who will not move out. She is not on the lease of the apartment. She has yet to pay rent in the 2 and a half months that she has been here. She has put me in a huge financial bind. How do I legally go about removing her from the apartment as quickly as possible?

    Here are instructions for evictions in Palm Beach County. Your county may have a similar page on its court website with downloadable forms (See, e.g., Brevard County). If not, you can probably get the required forms at the courthouse or from an office supply company. The process would be the same.

    Default Conducting the obvious...

    As opposed to conducting research and/or adaquately locating any unnecessary documents, why not simply contact the police, i.e.: 911???

    If this alleged person is no longer on the leasing agreement and you are physically able to submit any due types of verification(s) to support this, wouldn't it be more beneficial to contact someone that can actually do something about it altogether?

    Good luck~

    The police won't summarily evict somebody's roommate, merely because they have a common law tenancy instead of a lease.
