More details to this question:
My roommate/partner has moved out and her stuff is still in the house. Both of our names are on the house. What are my rights once she moves her stuff out? We will be selling the house after a few months.

If you are both on the deed to the house as joint tenants with right of survivors you will never be able to sell the house until she agrees. If you are both on the deed as tenants in common, you can sell your half if you can find anybody that wants it.
