NOT very easily.. they would have to go thru a eviction process to get you out ESPECIALLY if you can prove you have been paying...

How do I evict an occupant out of my home, our landlord put him on our lease as an occupant not a lease holder and said he is left with us to deal with. The man came with the house we are renting. We rented it to prevent him from being homeless, which was our first mistake, 1)We are woken up when he is dropped off between 2 am - 3 am highly intoxicated, and left at our doorstep and told hes our responsibility now, where he doesn't reside upstairs. 2) We have several times told him to please stop smoking indoors, where he agreed he would not but still to this day continues and it comes upstairs to our home. 3) When he is highly intoxicated all he talks about is how he is going to kill himself. I do not want our children to end up finding this man dead in our basement.What can we do???? I live in PA.

It depends on the laws in your state. I know that in california if someone stays with you for more than 2 weeks they are considered to be living there and you cannot throw them out without going through the eviction process. Why not offer the leaseholder a compromise, tell him that you will find another place so that he can let his friend move in, IF he gives you enough money to pay for your costs of moving into another place. That way you get another place to live and don't have to worry about the money. If he doesn't agree to that and you can't afford to move,t hen tell him that you will have to live there for 2-3 months rent free while you save up the money to move.

Having the landlord put you on the lease would work, but until the current lease expires, he can't do that. The lease gives the lessor the right to occupy, and he can't give that to different people on different leases for the same time period. In addition, if he's smart, he won't do that while others are present, because he's promising you exclusive occupation, which he can't give while others are there.

Yes they can, Only lease holders have the right to occupy the home. Any one not on the lease should have written permission from the Agent or Home owner to live there.

yes, few.
go to the land lord and put your name on the lease, BUT then you have A nasty roommate to contend with.
your bond gives you some rights, but exactly what would depend on who you paid it to.
to a roommate that is on the lease, then it is his word against yours.
to the owner, then you have a defensable position, probably.

If your name is not on the lease you don't have much in the way of rights to anything involving that property.

Obtain a copy of the Landlord/Tenant laws for your state. Read and review them. This will inform you of your rights better than any armchair advice.
Best of luck.
