Who Got Busted In Mobile County In The Last 24 Hours?

I gave my roommate 24 hours last night to move out and she hasn't got all of her stuff yet.?

  • My roommate hasn't helped me at all with bills and the rent and I gave her 24 hours last night to leave with her things and she still hasn't left yet with her things and 24 hours is almost done. She did not sign the lease. Do I have the right to call the police tonight and throw her stuff out of my place?

  • Answer:

    What the hell? NO! You can't do that. If you own the place you have to legally evict her and obtain a court order. If you do not own the place the landlord has to do that. The police will arrest YOU if you try to pull this BS. You can not kick her out. You can not touch her stuff. She does not have to sign a lease to have legal rights, which you seem to have no regard for. If she is a roommate her rights equal your rights, and that is her place, she has the right to live there until a judge says otherwise.

No, you cannot do what you suggest. You have turned yourself into a landlord by giving occupancy to this woman, and you must follow your state's laws relative to renting housing. This is what happens when you decide to 'take a roommate' without following proper procedure. The police will NOT become involved in this situation. You could be successfully sued by this woman if you remove her possessions as you are considering. Moreover, YOUR landlord might make life difficult for you for allowing an unauthorized tenant to move in with you. If she refuses to leave, you will need to use a conventional eviction process and lawsuit.

You have the right to call the police, but the police aren't going to do anything. Your roommate is a legal tenant, which means she has the right to stay until evicted by the landlord. This can take 30-60 days and if you touch her things or try a constructive eviction before then (changing the locks, turning off her power), then she can sue you. If you move her things out of the property, she can have you arrested for theft and various other issues.

You can't kick her out, you don't have the right. The police will be pissed that you wasted their time on a civil matter. ONLY the LL can kick her out legally. If you throw out her stuff, SHE can callthe police and YOU will be arrested for theft.

No you need to serve her with a 3 days to pay up or quit notice On the 3rd day you give her a written notice to vacate in 30 days and that you will suing her for all money owed, late fees and court costs. You have NO right to kick her out

don't throw her stuff out, this can only lead to problems such as her suing you for illegal eviction or her stuff if they go missing, call the police and they'll tell you what to do and also escort her out

If her legal address is at your house (it says it on her drivers license) I think you have to legally evict her before you can just throw her stuff out.

legally, she doesn't live there. If she doesn't pay and isn't on the lease, she is a trespasser as soon as you say she is no longer invited to stay. Tell her she has 24 hours to remove her things or you will bag them and put them out in the trash. You have that right as long as you give her warning and she gets the warning.
