How do I evict my roommate who’s not on the lease for failing to pay rent?

My mentally ill roommate, who is not on the lease, will not move out. I rented a room to her, and she has missed paying rent.

Based on what you've described, here’s how you can proceed:

  • Since she is not on the lease and is past due on rent, she is in breach of your agreement.
  • You can give her a written notice or demand to pay or quit.
  • If she does not pay or vacate, you can then file for eviction in court.

Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions or need help drafting the notice. I’m here to help clarify anything further.
