    Default Getting Rid Of A Non-Lease Roommate Who Is Paying Rent

    I'm new to these forums and i'm looking for advice on how to get rid of a room mate who's not on the lease.

    There are three of us. One of them and I signed the lease last May (of 2007) for one year. Our original room mate wasn't able to be on the lease because she had a criminal background. She ended up moving out and a new guy moved in who was never put on the lease.

    He does pay rent for the master bedroom. But after complications and being a total asshole, i'm going to threaten to move him out if he keeps it up. I'm just curious what I can do in this situation. He's been here since September of 2007, and has paid rent every month

    But I know in some states, even a NON-PAYING tenant will be moved back in if the cops are called. Does anyone know what the tenant laws are for Washington state?

    Thanks in advance

    Evan

    You and your co-tenant should be able to evict him. Read this guide (PDF) to Washington landlord-tenant law.
