Hi there,\n\nI believe it's 30 days, however don't do anything until you actually speak with some one.  Here's a website for roommate issues in Georgia:  http://www.consumer-sos.com/Georgia/Landlord_&_Tenant/landlord_t3.htm#Roommates\n\nHope it helps!!

They don't have ownership but legally, anyone who stays 14 nights out of sixty nights is considered a tenant. So technically after two weeks they were legally allowed to be there. You can have them evicted if you own the house yourself. But they still are entitled to thirty more days of stay before they have to leave.\n\nI know this is the case in north carolina, and it is generally the same in all US states. check with your police department. they can tell you everything you need to know if you want them out.

SINCE HE HAS BEEN THERE OVER 30 DAYS THE LAW SAYS THAT HE HAS LEGAL RIGHTS TO BE THERE NOW YOU CAN DO IT THE QUICK WAY & GET A RESTRAINING ORDER, BUT YOU HAVE TO HAVE REASONS AS TO WHY? YOU CANT SAY THAT HE ISNT ON THE LEASE,HE DONT PAY RENT, ETC........OR YOU CAN GET AN EVICTION NOTICE TO GET HIM OUT THE QUICK WAY IS THE RESRTAINING ORDER.........GL

evilyn's response is the close to being correct but not entirely.\n\nThe law MAY vary from state to state, but I am nearly certain she can move out whenever she wants.  If she decides to find you a new roommate, unless the person has a 'bad record', you really have no choice but to accept the replacement roommate (assuming the apartment manager authorizes the replacement as well--the apartment manager doesn't have to, and could instead throw both of you out).  \n\nIf she moves out without finding you a replacement, she is responsible for her share of the rent for the time it takes you to find a new roommate (or until the experation of the lease--whichever is sooner).\n\nHowever, if you decide not to look for a new roommate and hold her responsible for the lease, that simply will not 'fly' in court.  You have a duty to minimize your losses, which means a judge would not award you her share of the rent for the full term.\n\nIf she moves out without finding you a new roommate, make sure you put ads in the newspaper, keeping records showing you have made an honest effort to find a new roommate.  That way, if you can't find a replacement but can show a paper trail of your efforts, she will be liable for her portion of the rent for the entire duration of the lease.... and you get to live alone.

depnds on their lease contract. I think Texas requires at least 30 days notice.

If I were in your shoes I would just get to July 1 and then tell him in writting that you will be moving Aug 1.  Lease or not in most areas you must be give a thirty day eviction notice if he intends to kick you out.  So with 45 days to go just get to July 1 then you are in a thiry day window.

Ibid, you have no legal obligation.\n\nAnd, it sounds like you are asking for 'what's the right thing to do here?'...\n\nYou asked your roommate 3 months ago, and entered the apartment thinking that the whole time you'd be out come April.\n\nYou then, went out... spent time looking for another place to live... did the footwork... AND NOW she tells you.  You were cool with her.  Oversight or not, you've made a commitment to move that is conflicting only because of her error.\n\nShe is being inconsiderate of you.  This is a pretty big goof on her end...\n\nAnther thing too... why May 23rd?  nobody has a lease that ends May 23rd...  Leases typically are end of month or mid month for renting convenience.\n\nIt sounds to me that your roommate is buying a preconstruction house or something and her move in/closing was delayed, and she's trying to defer the costs...\n\nYou've already found a place, you've been through the headaches of finding a place... Move.

As long as you can demonstrate that you provided reasonable notice to the individual to remove the items from the place you own, then you can certainly discard unwanted items.\n\nThe link below shows the required steps for a landlord to be able to claim and dispose of property.  Most states will have similar requirements.

The notice period to terminate will be prescribed in the lease and is typically at least 30 days on residential and 60-90 days on commercial rael estate. It should be made in writing to the landlord and consent must be received for the agmt to be considered terminated.

Iowa law requires that notice be given 30 days in advance or as long as the period between rental payments is:\n\n"A person in the possession of real estate, with the assent of the owner, is presumed to be a tenant at will until the contrary is shown, and thirty days' notice in writing must be served upon either party or a successor of the party before termination of the tenancy. However, if a rent is reserved payable at intervals of less than thirty days, the length of notice need not be greater than the interval."\n\nThe landlord could also evict you, but that involves a notice of nonpayment, an order delivered by the Sherriff that eviction proceedings are being held, and a court date

Not sure about legally....but I had my own apartment when I was 17...my mom cosigned the lease though...I would like to think that s/he is responsible enough to hang for a minute...I mean hell they are almost 18.

She is responsible for the entire share of rent by the end of term of the lease. She can try to find a suitable replacement, but it would have to be with you and your other roommate's consent. She can't find some felon and expect you guys to be fine with that! Take her to court if she doesn't pay....nothing personal, it's just money.

sp...condemned ;) Very good advice, I would follow what they said above me about calling the gas company, and as long as you have a lease, he will have to go through the normal eviction process, which is different in every state, but if you gave him 30 days notice, put it in writing, verbal's don't mean sh** these days.

You can terminate it.  The lease is over, and you give proper notification.

Unless there is an emergency, like you went off for the weekend and left your pets in the house to bark and disturb the neighbors, or you left the water on and it is overflowing and he recieved a complaint from the downstairs neighbors, he can not legally enter the premises without giving you a 24 hour notice. The notice has to be legit too, it's not like he does this weekly just to see if you painted the walls black. For example, I enter my properties to conduct appraisals, estimate repairs (that they requested) or things of that nature. I cannot harass my tennants just to see the condition of the property. As a tennant you have a right to enjoy quiet use of the property. It seems like he is breaching the lease, you might want to send him a certified letter stating that his actions are not acceptable and that he has to give you 24 hour confirmed written notice anytime he needs to enter the property along with the reason for entering the property unless there is an actual emergency (such as fire) that he needs to immediately enter the premise to protect his property. Inform him that if he continues to breach this lease and break the law, you will be forced to find residence elsewhere.\n\nIf he continues this illegal behavior, your best bet is to leave and find another place to live, immediately send him a certified letter stating that you have left and abandoned the property for a breach in contract, request for the return of your deposit and sue him in small claims for any damages (such as moving cost) because he breached the lease contract.\n\nOne last thing, if he shows up and asks to come in and you say "Yes", there is nothing you can do about that and I bet he doesn't see this as a problem. If you are bothered by this, then you must tell him "No" or go outside to talk to him.\n\nI personaly believe no news from my tennants is good news. I'm sure it's the same for them too. I bet one gets scared when the other calls. ;)\n\nRegards...

First of all, get an attorney immediately.  As far as the mother-in-law living upstairs without a lease, I would be very careful how you go about "evicting" her.  Your attorney will be able to help with this, but here in California, for example, landlords are required to give 60 days notice to any tenant they want out, even with a lease at will, which might be where the 2 months thing came into play in the first place.  Even when your boyfriend finally owns the home outright that won't allow him to evict a tenant without any notice.

Landlord/tenant law varies from state to state.  The procedures to evict someone who is not on the lease will depend on how they got occupancy in the first place.  Contrary to what others have posted, not being on the lease doesn't necessarily mean anything.  This type of thing happens all the time.  Roommates move in, they move out, people sublease, etc.\n\nYou won't find the answer you seek here unless a Wisconsin lawyer happens to see your question.  You should  call an eviction lawyer in your state for furher advice.  Your local county bar association might have a lawyer referral service.  Most attorneys will give a free 30-minute consultation on a new case.
