    Default Evicting a Roommate Who is On the Lease, in Chicago

    I am wondering if there is anyway to legally kick out/evict my room mate who is also on the lease. I pay for 2/3rds of the apartment (it states that on the lease) and pay all of the bills, she is consistantly late in paying me both her share of the rent/bills/ and doing anything that needs to be done as part of living in an apartment. Her attitude towards me and the integrity of our place is getting worse and worse for example: she watched her friends dog for 2 weeks and let it use the bathroom on our balcony. She refuses to clean it up, and it is now about 2 months later, she still refuses to take responsibility for anything she does Is there any way I can kick her out?

    if I talked to him and explained the situation do you think we could work something out? or is it a lost cause? I know she is unhappy, she has the nerve to think that i am the bad roommate. If she moves out is there a way we can just legally switch over her part of the least to me? thanks for the advice.

    You mean, can you ask her to move out and then pay 100% of the rent? Sure, if she agrees.
