i own a home and have my daughter living in the house. A few of her friends have moved in, and are not paying rent, nor is there any writtten agreement. They other roommates are not taking care of their responsibilities in caring for their own messes, nor the house, and what rights if any do they have in being to leave the premises?
State/Country relating to Question: Washington Already Tried: since there is not any written agreement, nor have any of my daughter's roommates paid for expense, they basically live there rent free.. i have verbally spoke with them and have given them 2 weeks to leave, and they have verbally agreed to leave.. my issue is if they do not leave, what recourse do I have?
Since they are living on the premises, you can evict them, and go about it in the same way as if they were a paid tenant, and you were an actual landlord. It may take you some time toget them out, but you will be able to get it done.Sincerely,Dimtiry Alexander Kaplun, Esq.
to get them out of the house, in addition to providing them verbal, and also to follow up with written notice to vacate the premises, are there any other required notifications that are needed ? and if they refuse to leave as they have been given until the 14th of october to move out - if they refuse, do they have any tenant rights to continue to live there, and if necessary to have a sherfiffs notice of eviction posted, to leave the premises, can they be forcibly removed from the property should they not comply?
What you must do if they do not leave is write a 3 day notice to vacate, post it, and then if that is ignored, go to court and file a dispute against them to get a judicial order to get them to leave the premises. You may also file against them for any fees you incurred actually filing the suit against them (so they w ill be responsible for your costs) Once that is done, they can be forcibly removed by the sheriff if they do not leave.
