The Cruel Revenge On A Roommate Who Didn’t Pay The Rent
So Can A Roommate Evict Another Roommate?
While a lot of the lawful content is aimed at landlords, ultimately, this was an eviction done by roommates. Although it’s dependant on the state and whether the person being evicted was on the lease or not, a roommate can evict another roommate… although they have to take the legal route.
According to Lawyer Edward FS Deignan, via the site avvo.com, if a tenant is paying rent to the roommate, then that tenant becomes their “(sub)tenant.” This does give that roommate power to lawfully evict, although, in the event of unlawful eviction by locking out, then the evicted roommate can take action.
