    Default Roommate is on Lease but Cant Pay Rent - Can I Evict Him

    My question involves a roommate in the State of: hawaii
    my roommate can no longer pay his share of the rent. can i legally get him taken off the lease and force him to move out. he said he does not want to move out, but he was recently in a mpoed accident. he told me he only has $50 to his name and he has lots of doctors bills. i need him off my lease and out of my appartment. my lease is through a 3rd party rental agency. i have never even seen the actual owner of the appartment. how can i get him out?
    thank you in advance for your help.

    Only your landlord can get him off the lease and evict him.

    Typically, lease holders are jointly and severally liable for the rent - that means you are each responsible for 100% of the rent.

    Contact your property manager to discuss options.
