    Default Evicting Roommate In Illinois

    A friend of mine is going through a breakup with her live-in boyfriend who is on her apartment lease. Her name has been on the lease long before his and during this breakup, he has asked her to leave. She believes since she has lived on and rented the property longer and has paid more into it, she should be able to stay on the property and he should be the one evicted. How does she go about evicting him legally and without much additional cost? Since his name is also on the lease, is it even possible to legally remove him from the premises?

    Only if she gets the landlord involved.

    Since the boyfriend is on the lease, the landlord needs to do the evicting. Depending on the relationship your friend has with her landlord, he may boot the boyfriend (if he can find legal cause to do so), or he may tell her his hands are tied.

    Can't hurt to ask, but don't be too hopeful.
