In California, the landlord must serve the individual a formal eviction notice which must specify the person very clearly: on the lease or not. If the "roommate" has been residing there for a period of two consecutive weeks, then they are considered, by California law to be a legal occupant, and the land lord must use the above measures to have that person removed legally. But most experienced landlords are aware that evicting only one of two or more occupants residing under the same roof, is grounds for an ugly law suit as that could be construed as prejudice (why just me and no one else)?? So landlords tend to either evict everyone or no one. Landlords can evict for a good reason, or a bad reason, but they can not evict for no reason. If the roommate(s) are not on the lease, then landlords will mention everyone on the lease, and add the phrase "anyone else who resides there now". To make sure all occupants are covered in the eviction notice. As a fellow room mate, you can only get that person out if you shared an intimate relationship, and he or she has been making terrorist threats or has been physically abusive to you, and you fear for your life, but YOU MUST be on the lease other wise the court will not grant your request for the restraining order.

Is it possible to have more than one person on a lease and have only one of those people on a utility bill in Illinois even if one of those persons owes money to that company?

It is possible and common to have a lease in several people's names, but have a utility bill in only one person's name. For example, in a roommate situation, it is typical for all roommates to be on the lease. It is also typical for a utility company to prefer to work with only one customer, and therefore one roommate will take responsibility and contract with the power company. Then, the remaining roommates will agree to reimburse that roommate for the utility payments. Only the person who contract with the utility is responsible to them. The remaining roommates are responsible to that roommate, not directly to the utility company.

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.

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.
