    Default Kicking Roommate Out at End of Lease

    My question involves a roommate in the State of: Illinois

    I was wondering what our rights are if two roommates want to get a new roommate to replace a third at the end of a lease. The landlord doesn't want to get involved due to legal risks and just wants a notice stating whether we're renewing or not, do we as tenants have any say if both of us want the third out and the lease is up? The third roommate is possibly fighting this as they don't want to move. If we find a third to replace them can we just sign a new lease without the previous third roommate or can they fight this?

    Default Re: Kicking Roommate Out at End of Lease

    If it were me, I would simply tell the friend either he moves or you and your other room mate are leaving. You can't make him leave but you do not have to sign a lease on the same unit with him.

    The LL could accept you and the friend (that you want to stay with) and a third party and not accept the one you wish to rid yourself of but if that one decides to be a holdover tenant, you could all end up with a real pain in the *** trying to get rid of him.
