That's OK if you want her out. But have you read up on your state's LL/T laws to know what to do next if the UT does NOT move out? Are you prepared to go to court to get her out? Do your LL/T laws say you can remove just the UT only, or would you have to evict ALL of your Ts, including the UT? And if you accept ANY money for the extra UT (even for just the 2 months) will that hurt your case to evict her? A judge "could" conclude that if you accepted money for 2 months, why not accept it for 6,12, or even 18 months? Just more things to think about before going into court for a minor lease violation. Most judges around the country do not like to FORCEFULLY REMOVE a person for minor lease violations. A judge will sometimes look for ANY reason in those types of cases to NOT grant you an eviction. So be sure you have an AIR-TIGHT case that completely follows your state's LL/T laws. Of course, if you get lucky, the UT will move out on their own before the need to go to court.

Have looked in to laws for my state. I am trying to be patient and do things legally. I want to be strict but fair and not get walked on. Just wondering were I stand when a lease is breached and the guilty people at hand think its no big deal. I'm trying not to go the eviction route if I don't have to, but if push comes to shove I will. I'm trying to be patient and this is a single family,so I'm just not renewing lease when comes due. I have upgrades that I want to do so this will be my opportunity.

    I think if you don't force the issue to move now with the UT. Then when the end of lease come up. The T will drag their feet moving only when it's convenient for them. The old saying " give them an inch and they take a yard", will ring true. Evict the T for lease violation. It's there problem to get the room mate out.
