While your manager or landlord wants to avoid evictions and remove someone from a lease, it`s best to discuss your options with them so they`re aware of the situation and can do what`s necessary. If there is a likely reason for your roommate to be removed from the lease – if they have damaged the property, have not paid the rent, have been charged with a serious crime, or have shown signs that they pose a danger to others – your manager (in accordance with their local and state laws) can remove the roommate from your lease and dislodge them, if there is no other solution. They have only been there since October and have paid only once until the due date. There were also neighboring complaints (this is an apartment) about their dog ladles (and maybe screams?), which was solved, and then there was a dog waste problem that was also solved.

Good luck, my tenants. A lease is like any other contract. As a general rule, the lease creates an obligation to pay the rent and, in return, the lessor is required to provide habitable housing. Most leases do not remove a tenant`s financial commitment to the landlord simply because a tenant decides to evacuate, but leaves behind other tenants. The SFAA Residential Tenancy Agreement 2017 directly addresses this point: In addition, removing a tenant from the lease will likely require you to return that person`s portion of the bond. Normally, no part of the deposit should be returned until the apartment is completely evacuated. Therefore, outgoing tenants will encourage to remove all people, including sub-tenants, if they decide to leave. By removing a tenant and returning part of the deposit, you probably won`t be able to force the remaining tenant to replenish the deposit amount and you are therefore undersecured for the rest of the lease. You can`t force a roommate out of your apartment or remove their name from the lease just because you want them to leave.
