Rent & Roommate

Kick him out. He's only going to get worse. You should have kicked him out before the other roommate left

Yes you can remove him. Did you make him sign a lease? If no lease was signed and he pays month to month then you give him notice 1 month before you evict him. After those 30 days you he is a tenancy at sufferance and you may pursue further action.

Honestly I'd prefer not to kick him out because it's ridiculously difficult to find someone at my age that doesn't totally suck and is looking to rent a room. He's at least quiet.

I just want to raise the rent.

Tell him if he doesn't pay more rent he unfortunately can't stay. Honestly, it sounds like you might need two new roommates.

Sounds like a shitty situation, but I'd threaten to kick him out if he doesn't agree to pay more. But also, maybe you should consider kicking him out regardless since he has no money or means to make any.

fuck put an ad on craigslist and put up posters and shit , or its gonna be your ass you will probably find some faggot with 12 boxes of dragon dildos but fuck it better than paying 800$ in rent

Sorry you can't force him to pay more. If he doesn't want to/can't you're better off finding someone new or just settling with the lower rent he is paying.

I can afford the whole mortgage myself if I have to, it's just nice to have an extra $10,000 a year when I have two roommates.

So raise the rent? Either he swims or sinks. Right now hes loving every second because you are letting him walk on you. Why would you ask if hes ok with paying 50% more every month? Would anyone say yes to that if it was optional? Obviously fucking not.

Tell him rent is 600$ now, and if he doesnt like it he can find somewhere else to live.

>>18558675
well take my advice and you will have 10,000$ extra

Do you think it would be fair of me to say "you have two choices, pay more or get evicted?" I would wait until he gets a job though.

I only asked him once in a "what if we don't find a roommate" discussion a while back. Unfortunately my last roommate WAS up for it, and I never got around to evicting this guy before it was too late.

I know I'm being too nice, but I literally know the dude has nowhere to go but the homeless shelter at the moment if I kick him out, and I don't know what I'd do with his stuff.

Before you all ask why the fuck I let a guy like this move in with me, I used to work with him, where he seemed chill and responsible. The only reason he was looking for a place was because he had just gotten divorced and was looking to get back on his feet.

I can't tell you what is fair or not that's up to you. From my perspective it seems entirely reasonable. I would suggest telling him that the rent was a lot lower than what it should have been and what you're raising it to is a more realistic price. If he starts giving you a hard time tell him he has 30 days to figure it out. Be sure to take note you informed him a month in advance so if he does want to make a legal dispute you can defend yourself.
