He could, but it depends on the wording of the lease. Normally there is only one tenant on a lease: the rest of the legal occupants are considered part of the household. A landlord can kick out the one tenant and create a new lease for another occupant, making him the tenant.

The ability to evict the co-tenant who won't pay their share varies under different jurisdictions. In some cases only the landlord can evict a tenant.

How does a landlord evict a tenant in California?

In order for a Landlord to begin the eviction process, California law requires all persons residing in the property be served with a notice. If the tenant doesn't voluntarily move out after the landlord has properly given the required notice to the tenant, the landlord can evict the tenant. In order to evict the tenant, the landlord must file an unlawful detainer lawsuit in superior court.Do not every use unlawful methods to vacate the rental premises. If the landlord uses unlawful methods to evict a tenant, the landlord may be subject to liability for the tenant's damages, as well as penalties of up to $100 per day for the time that the landlord used the unlawful methods.If the court decides in favor of the landlord, the court will issue a writ of possession. The writ of possession orders the sheriff to remove the tenant from the rental unit, but gives the tenant five days from the date that the writ is served to leave voluntarily. If the tenant does not leave by the end of the fifth day, the writ of possession authorizes the sheriff to physically remove and lock the tenant out, and seize (take) the tenant's belongings that have been left in the rental unit. The landlord is not entitled to possession of the rental unit until after the sheriff has removed the tenant.


Can the landlord tell the tenant to keep the house clean?

Yes and no. A landlord has the right to have a tenant keep the unit free from rodents or pests. He can't evict you simply because one day he comes over and sees your house a mess (unless it's so messy it's a health hazard).


Can your Landlord evict your roommate when she knew he was there?

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 a landlord rent out a room in a house you already rent in ca?

Not without a prior agreement, otherwise it violates the tenant-landlord laws. If you are just moving into a two bedroom apartment and there is a separate listing for one of the other rooms, yes they can. If they decide to go and rent out one of the other rooms when you are already living there, then they can only do that if you and your landlord are at a mutual agreement. Otherwise, they cannot. Don't worry, as long as you are paying the rent on time, they can't evict you for disagreeing with their plans. And if they try, you can sue them for it.

Your landlord wants to evict you because the elevator did not pass inspection What can you do?

If you are on a lease, your landlord must fix the elevator for the remainder of the term of your lease. If he does not, you should contact a tenant's rights group or landlord-tenant law attorney in your area for advice on your particular situation. If you are not on a lease, or your lease has expired, your landlord can ask you to leave for any reason, provided he gives you written notice according to your state's law. If he does not want to fix the elevator, he may decide not to rent your unit, and ask you to leave. If you like the building, you might ask the landlord if you can move into one of the units in the building that does not use the elevator.


What can you do if my landlord doesn't set rules to keep problems from happening between tenants?

Basically, the landlord does not have to set specific rules to address problems between tenants. If one tenant is having problems with another tenant, this is treated as a problem between neighbors, which may be handled in civil court or criminal court depending on what type of problem is occurring. However, the landlord does have the duty to provide a safe, decent, and sanitary home for his tenant to live in. If the landlord fails to do this, the tenant may move out and break his lease under the constructive eviction clause. Normally a standard lease will have a clause which states that tenant must not conduct himself in any manner that poses a threat to the peace of the community or the property. This clause often includes the landlord has the right to evict him if the police are called and he is arrested for such breach.


How long does it take to evict a tenant in Missouri after a suit has been filed?

A tenant has until: 1. The time frame listed on the eviction notice that one must move or face eviction proceedings; or 2. at the eviction hearing, the time the judge will order the defendant to move out by or face removal by the sheriff's department or constable.
