Roomie's not paying rent, or bills, he's in denial about his 30day notice?How do I get my key and parking pass back, and him out after I gave 30 day notice, thinks he's staying? He ruined my finances by my covering Nov. $200.shortage, plus utilities; All of Dec rent of $1050., and all utilities paid no late fees. He's not on lease. Paid no security deposit as agreed he would. Did not pay for parking pass key either. While he initially agreed paying $600 and 2 payments of 150 for security deposit to move in, only paid $400. Doesn't see why he can' 'just continue to pay rent'? a master at passive aggression or just nuts. I'm moving on Dec.30 I'm concerned he'll keep come back. What kind of legal preparation can I make?

My father is a landlord... you best advice is to ask politely for them... If you dont get them back. Call the police have him and his belonging escorted out leaving the key and parking pass behind.

It sounds like there is very little you can do to recover your losses, but I would notify the landlord that he still has a key and advise them to change the locks when you move. If you know the model and make of his car, you should give this information to the landlord so that they can watch for his vehicle and confiscate the parking pass key. I wouldn't worry about the liability if you notify the landlord in writing. If your 30 day eviction notice was in writing, give the landlord a copy of that too.

Only P - don't you read the questions? He clearly stated this guy isn't on his lease - so don't chastise him for making that wrong decision.
As far as preparing for the move out - I would remind him, in writing that you're moving out - and if the day comes and he's still there - definitely call the cops and get him out of there. If you're concerned about recouping the money you lent - you may be able to take him to small claims if you have any sort of written evidence of your loans. If you happen to have in writing your original $600/mo rent agreement that would help too -
good luck!

you should have moved him out before or worked something out with the landlord for him to take over the lease ! you can still make a try with the landlord and if it doesn't work out start eviction proceedings immediately because he is not on the lease does not mean you can just throw him out for that he can sue you for a illegal eviction because you GAVE him legal status

If you are on the lease you are jointly and severely liable. The fact that your roommate doesn't pay rent still affects you. They will try to collect from all lease holders. Next time get an individual lease.
