No. The lease specifies who is approved to live in the unit. An exception would be if the lease allows a sublease and the "stranger" signed a sublease.

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.

How can a roommate evict you?

= = = Evicting a Roommate = Many people find themselves living with disagreeable roommates and need to find a way to end or change their living arrangements. If you are in an unpleasant living situation, but your name is not on the lease, the best thing for you to do is find alternate living arrangements for yourself. If both names are on the lease, depending on the reason you want your roommate to leave, your landlord may (or may not) be willing and able to help. If your roommate's name is not on the lease, or if you own the dwelling in which you reside, you may be able to evict him or her for a variety of reasons. In an ideal world, you would be able to rationally explain to your roommate why parting ways is a good idea, and the roommate would agree and decide to move out on his or her own. However, things don't always unfold as the best case scenario in these types of situations. It is best to try to resolve roommate problems amicably, but you may find yourself in a situation in which legal action cannot be avoided. When evicting a roommate, it is vital to follow the tenant laws that govern your jurisdiction. The legalities involved with evicting a roommate vary greatly from one location to another. In most areas, you will be required to provide the roommate with written notice of your intent to evict him or her from the dwelling within a reasonable period of time (usually 30 days) following formal notice. Before proceeding with roommate eviction proceedings, be sure to consult a fair housing representative in your area or seek the advice of an attorney who is experienced with the real estate laws specific to your geographic area.

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.
