Unfortunately, yes. You are responsible to continue the leasehold even in the event of a roommates death. The roommates family are not responsible for the decedents leasehold contract, as his lawful responsibility terminates upon death.

Your best option is to quickly secure a new roommate to replace the missing room mate.

Does the roommate doing the evicting have to do it through the courts if the roommate being evicted is not on the lease but has lived there for five months?

Roommates can't generally "evict" another roommate; that's something a landlord does. If your roommate is not "on the lease" then they have no legal interest in the property. You can just call the police and tell them that the roommate is trespassing and you'd like them removed.

How do you evict a roommate in your apartment if you and one other person are on the lease and the roommate that you want to evict is not?

First of all, you and the other person on the lease must agree that the roommate should be evicted. Then, you should sit down with the roommate and try to work out a plan for the roommate to leave. Any agreement you can work out will be far easier and cheaper than using the legal process (see below).Next, if the roommate has agreed to pay rent, buy groceries, etc. (which means he/she is not a guest) you must give the roommate written notice to leave. 20 days' notice is what most states require, but you should check out your state's law. If the roommate still refuses to leave, then you must evict him/her in the same way a landlord evicts a tenant. See How Do You Evict a Tenant? below.If the roommate is a guest, then you will need to file a lawsuit for ejection against the roommate. Unless you are an expert at your state's civil court procedure, you will need to hire an attorney to represent you in the lawsuit.


If a roommate who is the only one on the lease evicts the other but refuses to allow that roommate to get his belongings what legal recourse does the evicted person have?

Check with the local police. If you have belongings of value in the place, hopefully you will have receipts with your credit card number on them there, too? And the matching credit card will have your name on it. Your local police should be able to tell you the first step.


If you share an apartment with a roommate and both are on the lease and your roommate bounces a check but pays within the week will it affect your score?

Depends on if your apartment community reported to the credit bureau's as being a late payment. Most of the apartments where I have lived, didnt report it when I was a month late. Apartments usually get you if your late constantly or evicted from the apartment. You could ask your landlord if they reported it as being late.
