Sorry to tell you you that you're out of luck. Move out and/or get a new room-mate ASAP, this one appears that they can't be trusted with other people's money.

How should I search for good roommates?

Make a list of the attributes you want in a roommate and then when looking at properties have a good chat with them. If you are meeting them at the property, check the garbage an overflowing bin could be a sign of a big clear out before you arrived meaning they could be even more messy than your current roommates.


I applied to become a roommate to $2500 mo unit (about to pay $800 a month). Real estate was managing to collect each roommates and each roommate (didn't met) were asked to pay full $2500 deposit. Why I have to pay full month deposit with no split?

Maybe you misunderstood the real estate agent. Maybe the agent just needed the total deposit for the rental and assumed you had gathered your half amongst your roommates half to pay in full. If you don't have your roommates half I would just give your agent your half and let him/her know that you've got what your responsible for and that the other half will need to be collected separately. Explain you have no control over your roommates finances and his obligation to pay his half. As long as you have yours you should be okay.


Is there anything you can do if you have roommates who arent on your lease and your apartment complex says youll get evicted if they stay?

Yes, there is something you can do: GET RID OF THEM!! If your roommate won't move under their assertion of residency, you may need to take them to court and evict them. I hope you think about this before you take in any roommates. The proper way to add roommates is to add them to your lease if permitted, and do so properly according to room size (for example a one-bedroom apartment should have no more than two adults occupying the unit).


How can one easily find a new roommate?

To find a new roommate you can use a roommate matching site or you can check local classified ads, Kijiji or Craigslist. Precaution should be taken when selecting a roommate. They should be trustworthy and reliable. They should be able to provide references.


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?

You can start by checking your lease agreement to see if it allows for subletting or adding roommates. If not, you could try negotiating with the roommate to leave voluntarily. If that fails, you might need to give them a formal written notice to vacate and, if necessary, seek legal advice or involve the landlord if they refuse to leave.


What legal responsibility do you have regarding your x roommates possessions?

Either holding on to their goods in good faith that you will have to remit their property someday and everything should be as intact as possible in order to avoid any legal consequences or personal vendetta. The responsibility to put yourself in your roommates shoes should actually be a good enough principle guiding how you handle anything of theirs in your trust. Hopefully this helps! 😉
