    Default Kicking a roommate out

    How do you kick a roommate out of the apartment? There are 4 tenants, and 3 of the 4 wants one of the roomates out, at the end of the lease. All 4 names are on the lease.

    Default Roommate problems

    If all four names are on the lease, in relation to the right to occupy the apartment the roommates have a contract with the landlord, not with each other. So unless the landlord wants to evict the roommate and has valid grounds to do so, you probably don't have a valid basis to evict the roommate yourself.

    So your short-term solution would seem to be to negotiate with the roommate, and to try to come to terms where they leave the apartment before the conclusion of the lease. (If you reach an agreement: Get it in writing.) If that is not possible, obviously you won't want to renew the lease with this roommate named as a tenant.
