I’m on my own and was looking for a roommate to save more money. I put an ad online. Found a college girl who only wanted to stay 3-4 months to finish school. I thought it was perfect since it was short term. I gave her a verbal list of rules a few times before she moved in. She agreed. 2 weeks later she has disregarded all rules. Turned my place into I hang out when I’m not home. Smokes weed in the apartment. Has damaged walls and carpet. Has a party in my small one bedroom. Quit her job and is living off a loan but now has crashed her car and run out of money and is looking for a job. She’s month to month pay. I live in New York State. Not nyc. At this point i don’t care about the money and just want her out because she’s been so disrespectful. How can I get her out
You can evict the subtenant but you'll need to follow the same procedure for any other tenant. Even if the subtenant does not have a lease, she arguably has a month-to-month tenancy which you can only terminate in accordance with the law. Here are some articles I found online which you might find useful.
