I am one of two primary leaseholder in my current apartment. We have a roommate who is not on the lease but has signed a roommate agreement with the other primary tenant. I never signed that agreement. That primary leaseholder recently left & sublet his room to another person, leaving me as the only primary tenant living in the apartment. Does this roommate who is not on the lease still has the right to keep his room, now that the person he signed the agreement with left?
I want him out of the apartment because we've been having a hard time getting the rent from him on time. He gave me notice by email that he is moving out at the end of this month and I accepted it but then today he told me he is not sure if he is moving out by the end of the month, and that the notice he gave me is not valid because he made the agreement with the other roommate. I don't know what to do. Do I still need to go to court to have him evicted or can I have building management ask him to leave/remove him from the apartment.
He also gets drunk at least 3-4 days in a wee and smokes secretly in the room. He didn't disclose this beforehand. I feel this is a fire safety issue esp if he passes out from drinking while smoking.
