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).

What are the consequences of lying on rental application?

The consequences for lying on a rental application is probably going to be the same as lying on a job application: if you do get an apartment and it is later found that your application was false your lease could be terminated and you could be evicted. However, in most cases it depends on the type of lie that was detected. For example if you deny that you have criminal record, especially a sex offense, and they find that you do have criminal record you obviously will be denied an apartment. The general rule is: if you're going to fill out an application for anything, be it a job or an apartment, anticipate that all the information on it will be verified. This is especially true in apartment applications because apartment complex owners and managers are obliged to protect the residents of their complex by filtering out people who do not meet the minimum rental criteria, such as an acceptable credit history and acceptable criminal record.

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.


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.

Yes, it is possible to get evicted if you signed a lease that does not allow cats. You will be given the option to rehome your cat, find a new apartment, or get evicted.

Can you be denied an apartment at a tax credit community if your credit is bad because of disability?

You can be denied an apartment by any community and for any reason except reasons for which a person is discriminated against: color, sex, religion, disability, sexual orientation, and other protected reasons. Whether the apartment complex is a tax credit Apartment complex or a conventional apartment, the selection criteria is generally the same, because whether it is a tax credit apartment complex or conventional, it is still privately owned. When an apartment complex performs a credit check, they are not looking for those people who don't pay their credit card bills or their medical bills, or are they paying either; they are looking for those who are not paying their utility bills or for those who have been evicted from a previous rental property. This will be true regardless of whether the person is disabled.

How can you remove an eviction judgment from your records when the apartment complex has been sold?

An eviction will stay on your record regardless of the future status of the entity that legally evicted you. Only time will heal that -- normally seven years. However, most apartment complexes will take a look at your record of only about three years and make their decision. However each complex is different and has their own rules, and unfortunately there is nothing you can do about it.
