The answer depends on whether or not your roommate is allowed under the lease. Virtually all residential leases contain a clause that restricts who can live in the apartment. Does your lease contain such a clause? And if so, does it prohibit roommates (or people other than yourself) from living in the apartment?
If you have questions about your lease, I suggest you contact a tenant's rights organization in your area. They can read your particular lease and offer guidance on your state's landlord-tenant laws. Alternatively, you can contact an landlord-tenant law attorney (look for one who offers "free consultations" in your local phone book).

Can your Landlord evict you if you have a roommate?
Yes , if having a roommate is in violation of your lease agreement stating that the lease is for a single occupant . You should be able to renegotiate the contract if you are in compliance with all the requirements of the leasing contract .
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.
What are laws on evicting roommates in ga?
In Georgia, landlords must follow specific legal procedures to evict a tenant, including a roommate. If a roommate refuses to leave, the landlord must provide a written notice to vacate, typically giving them at least 60 days, depending on the lease agreement. If the roommate does not leave, the landlord can file for eviction in court. It’s important to note that landlords cannot use "self-help" methods, such as changing locks or removing belongings, to evict a tenant.
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.
How do you deal with a roommate with a Superiority Complex?

Can a landlord evict before the lease is up and not give you a reason?
To evict, he needs a reason.
If you co-sign a lease are you responsible for all roommates' rent even if they have their own co-signers for their leases?
When you sign a lease with multiple tenants on the lease, you are all equally responsible for any aspect of your rent. Therefore if your roommate does not pay his portion of the rent, and you are responsible for the portion he doesn't pay. If this happens then you can be able to evict your roommate or have the landlord do so. Some landlords allow you to be the main tenant on the lease and in essence be the landlord for your roommates. This is called subletting. Most apartment complexes do not allow this. But for the landlords that do allow it, it allows you to control your situation better: your roommates can pay you and then you give one check to your landlord. If your roommate doesn't pay you, you can evict him. A lease is an agreement between all of you who are in the lease and your landlord. Therefore you are all equally responsible for what happens.
Can a landlord evict someone living on their property when they haven't signed a lease?
I am presuming we have three components here: a landlord, a tenant, and a subtenant. The landlord in this case is presumably renting to a tenant, while the tenant is presumably renting to a subtenant. I presume that tenant has a lease while the subtenant doesn't. The tenant becomes the landlord for the subtenant. Since there is no lease (in most states subletting does not involve a lease) in this case, the tenant who is the subtenant landlord can evict the subtenant. While the main landlord can evict the tenant -which automatically evicts the subtenant -only the tenant can evict the subtenant. But the main landlord can evict all by evicting the tenant.
