    Default Trying to Kick Roomates Out

    Alright im trying to figure out what legal ways I can go about this. My boyfriend and i had a great roomate until his girlfriend moved in, now their the roomates from HELL. My boyfriend and I are on the lease, They both are NOT. They usually pay all Utilities and rent through a check to my boyfriend. the landlord is not even aware that His girlfriend lives there. we want them OUT and soon. how do i go about this?
    - We live in michigan
    - they have paid rent 5/6 times in a check written to my boyfriend
    - they pay all utilities and cable in a check written to my boyfriend
    - they are both not on the lease
    - the apartment complex does not know the girlfriend lives with us
    - they also have an illegal cat living with us
    -their both really stupid and probably dont understand any legalities since they just learned to balance their checkbook.

    Suggestions??

    Any action you "attempt" to take can blow up in your face. Reason Landlord will then likely become aware of extra tenant he knows nothing about.

    well im not terribly worried about the landlord being upset, shes not much older than us and shes super friendly and nice, so im almost 100% positive she would be leniant if i explained the situation to her.

    Also I forgot to mention all Utilities and Cable are in my boyfriends name

    When you allowed them to move in, you became their landlord in the eyes of the law. That means that to get them out, it's up to YOU to follow the process for eviction in your state (which you didn't name).

    Sorry, we're in Michigan

    is it just give them 30 days to move out? and where do i find the paper that says they have 30 days?
