Well they cant make her stay but if she leaves she could be required to pay her share of the rent for the rest of the lease. You cant make her roommates take on someone they dont want.

I can only suggest seeing a lawyer if they do not want to let you out of the lease.  Have you given your landlord some type of documentation from your doctor stating the problem?  Depending on the time left on your lease, if it's not to long, you may be able to work out a deal with the landlord.  Good Luck KG

This would seem to be a basic and clear violation of your lease.  As the leasee, you should have sole control over who has access to the leased area if there is nothing to the contrary in your lease agreement.  You can NOT simply stop paying the rent, however.  You must take your landlord to court if he/she does not rectify the situation.  Simply discontinuing payment may make you subject to eviction and get you put on one of the "bad leasees" lists.  I would suggest you put your request for him/her to rectify this situation in writing (date your letter) and MAIL it to your landlord via REGISTERED mail.  That creates a paper trail that you requested to have this problem resolved.  For more information, consult nolo.com for book related to landlord/tenants (see below) or, even better, consult a real estate attorney.

You have started a pattern of accepting this behavior.  It will be difficult to make a major change right away.  I would suggest a few months before their lease ends, send them a lease renewal with new guidelines.  For example, late fees charged after 5 days late or a flat late charge fee.  Also, the rent must be dropped off at a specific location by the due date.

You shouldn't have agreed to pay for that in the first place.  My roommate broke my refrigerator trying to smash ice out of the freezer with a screwdriver and my landlord replaced it.  \n\nI've been in the same apartment for 9 years and had to deal with a landlord that's been nothing but an evil shrew.  They usually will try to get out of paying for anything even if they are legally obligated to do so.  This woman should not have the legal right to evict you unless it is stated in the lease that you must pay for all repairs and damages and provide the money by a certain date.  If it hasn't been fixed yet then she has even less of an excuse for acting this way.  This could be considered harassment.  \n\nCheck your lease.  If there is nothing in there that applies to this situation then IGNORE HER.  Most people never want to speak to their landlord anyway.  If you find that you are not legally obligated to pay for this then perhaps you should remind her of that.  Tho it may just make the situation worse.  The easiest thing to do is just pay her the money when you have it and try not to get yourself in this situation again.\n\n*After reading your additional details, your situation is a little worse than I thought.  It still depends where you live.  As far as I know, a "month-to-month" tenant can be evicted for any reason provided they are given a 30 day notice (NYC law is different).  Tenents that pay cash should always be given a rent reciept and hopefully you have kept them.  You may need them if this gets ugly.   If this woman is angry enough, it looks like she can evict you over it.  Even if you work it out, you should consider looking for another place anyway.

I would think it would be in your lease, your and their responsibilities and obligations, I would check it and if they are not following their part, get a lawyer

You have to follow the terms agreed to in your rental agreement.  Sorry there is not a better answer.

Check the lease papers on your apartment.\nThere should be a clause there specifically addressing the practice of 'subletting', which your room mate is technically doing. \nThere are specific laws that address this situation. Call your local housing office.

Depending on your contract or lease and the state you live in there are different laws state to state,her right to enter your apt if not outlined in your lease is invalid.\ntake pictures of your inside apt and outside your apt as well as any other conflicts you mentioned,indiscreetly let them see you doing this,if they ask why tell them just taking Pict's.\nThis sounds as if they want you out to re-lease your apt,the pictures will be of importance if they wish to break the lease or try to evict you and break your lease.\nBe sure to read your lease!!!!

Does her landlord know that you are living there? If she has no rental agreement with the building, they can't "evict" her so to speak, if there's no paperwork, there can't be a real court hearing or anything. If the landlord likes you so much I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to convince them to let you stay in your own apartment. Just tell them that you really like staying here and you'd like to keep on staying there. It's weird that there's no agreements or leases or anything...not very smart on the landlord's part.

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

Why are all of you people acting like she is the bad one here!!!!!!!!!????????  She has every reason to be pissed off!  She is getting stuck with all the bills and the lease.  If she signed the lease with you, you have a case.  If not just chalk it up as a lesson learned and never allow yourself to be in that situation again.  As far as getting even goes just make sure everyone knows what a low life sponging mooch she really is.

If you are still in the current lease (and it is signed by you and the landlord), it can't be cancelled unless you've broken the terms of the lease. If you pay on time, etc. and the landlord tries to cancel it and raise the rent, take him to court- you'll win.

Depends on your lease agreement. I would contact the housing authority for advise. They have a website  I beleive. G/L!

Make sure you can get out of your lease first then present those facts to your current landlord. If they dont give you a break, move.

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