I'm the leaseholder at my apartment. I moved out. I gave my roommmate 60 days to get out. He didn't, so when I left, I changed the locks (he has no proof that he ever lived there, so he can't come after me).
My question is, if he breaks into the apartment, he'll be trespassing, and can be charged with such, right?
I am gone, I've turned in the keys, and let them know that he was giving me trouble, but he left. I can't possibly be evicted at this point, can I? I would hate for that to show up on my credit, when it's his fault.

I was living there, and I told him that in 60 days, my lease would be coming due, and I wasn't renewing, so he would no longer be able to live here, unless he signs his own lease.

You can't be evicted from somewhere you no longer occupy.

Most leases state that only those signed on the lease are able to occupy the residency (unless they are children or dependants where they claim you as the legal guardian and are under the age of 17). First off, you can't tell him to get out, because in actuality...the apartment isn't yours. It's the place you are renting it from. A lease only entitles you and gives you the right to occupacy. A lease sort of binds you to that place and all agreements for a certain period of time (unless some other arrangements have been made), but once you give notice of your leaving and turn in your keys, your lease pretty much becomes void. I'm not into property management or anything like that, so I don't know all the "rules" and what it says on your lease, but if you want him gone, I suggest you take it up with the firm you are leasing it from and explain the situation. They can take the necessary actions.

I don't quite follow. Is your lease over? If so, you can't be evicted. You were still in the place for those 60 days you gave your roommate to move out? You need to explain the situation a little better.

You can be evicted for any reason, at least in CA
