A contract has been signed by a roommate to evacuate as of sept 30, 2006. Signed by both parties, no witnesses. How legal and binding is this contract?

I think if it stated the intended and it was signed and dated it would be a legal contract, you could take him to small claims court and use the document against your roommate.

I'm not quite sure what you mean. Who did your roommate sign the contract with? If they did it with your landlord, you are under no moral or legal obligation to leave if your name was on the lease. You are not part of the contract and they cannot force it on you. Legality is a tough question though. I think you can contest anything that isn't signed by a public notary. I'd go ahead and speak to your landlord alone.

It depends. If the roommate is still on the lease, the contract probably isn't binding. If they are on the lease, you should contact your landlord and execute a new lease without your roommate's signature.

As stated above purely a freelance atturny could make it easier to there, yet undergo in concepts in case you deliver at the same time any hire or charge from the roommate you will desire to pay taxes on it, thats the downside to a freelance, the state/fed government knows.
