Does your roommate have a lease with you?
Do you have a lease w/ the apartment company? Is your roommate on that lease? If not, you may have a legal right to have her evicted, but it's a tricky situation.
Tell your roommate in writing that she has 30 days to vacate and that if she is not out, you will pursue legal action. Then go talk to an attorney.

It depends on the lease you had her sign when she rented out your room.
What were the conditions of the lease? Was it a yearly or monthly lease?
By law, the landlord must give "vacate notice" in WRITING 60 DAYS prior to the end of the year. If you have not done so, legal action may not work in your favor.
What you can do is give her notices (in writing) to vacate the property. Have a strict chat and discuss the problem.
The problem is that you are out of options if you have not done the 60 days notice.
But I am thinking this was just a simple rent-a-room thing you offered her without any lease or anything to sign. If so, you can just kick her out by eviction.

Small claims court and the state or local housing agency. Usually in the phone book. They may have a booklet on rental rights and tenant rights. Another way is to find out if there is a limit to the people you can have if you have a lease. You can tell her that in the lease you just noticed that there is an occupancy limit. Tell your landlord first if such a clause exists, that you noticed it and have taken steps to correct the matter.

If she is on the lease then there will be problems. You may have to wait until the lease is up. Make other arrangements then.
If she isn't you will have to get something to her in writing giving her 30 days notice to vacate and make sure to send this certified mail so you have record of it. You can't go to the apartment leasing office because if you have someone living there with out them being on the lease they could ask you and her to leave. Regardless if you and her pay the rent on time.

Do you have a written agreement with her? Does your apartment allow sub-leasing? If not, if she were to go to the management company of your apartment and say she has lived there and they don't know anything about her, they can kick you out as well. There is something buried in your lease about notifying them of other tenants. Owners/management firms get picky about this because they legally need to know who is occupying their units so if you didn't let them know and they don't have an application from this girl, you could be in trouble with them.
No one wants to be forced to move on a whim. Too bad you want the place to yourself, but maybe you should have thought of that before advertising for a roommmate. Moving is expensive, getting bills and addresses changed and new phone numbers are a pain and costly. Look at from her side of the issue. I don't really think she has any legal grounds to stay, but if you don't have a written agreement with her, it could get very sticky between you.

only tell him to pass because this is not understanding and also you aren't to any extent further satisfied :perchance both one in all you may be there: be well mannered supply him your time perchance some days you ought to even help him pass. this is not any longer a own ingredient (no longer a lot )only say you've yet another chum who will connect you and desires the room. it really is although no longer a ideal international so be prepared for problems with the former roomie who a minimum of you already know and with the recent one---reliable success

If she is not on the lease, tell your landlord. The landlord will have her escorted off the property, as your lease probably states that anyone living in the place must be on the lease. You could also simply call the cops for her trespassing.

That sounds a bit rude, doesn't it? You invited her in, and now your kicking her out? If you can't bare to live with her then move out and find some place new. If your staying because you LOVE the apartment... get over it. You have to get your priorities straight. Which is more important, the apartment or being away from the roomate?

If she has signed a lease and is not doing anything wrong then I don't know if you can just make her leave. Try contacting a solicitor or your local citizens information advice centre.

You gave her a verbal warning. Now it is time to put it in writing and reassure her that you are serious about this issue. Seek out some legal advice and stick to your guns.
