Roommate problems!!

[Dee5584]

How do you kindly kick someone out of you apartment?......HELP!!!!! 

[Dee5584]

He is a friend, not a best friend but a friend, he paid me $200 to stay at my place for a month. But he is driving me crazy!! His month is over on sept.14 but I cant wait that long!!

Give him his money back and tell him to please get out. Say your parents don't approve.
or...
Get another male to move in there and make him feel uncomfortable and he will leave
or...
change the locks

[trujillo33]

I think u should just tell him u want to move out and list the reason why??

[Sunshine84]

There really isn't a real nice way to do it. If you are trying to save a friendship just sit down with the person and say for the sake of our friendship I am asking you to move out. I am sure if you are having problems with a roomate they know about it and would agree and be okay with it if they want to remain being your friend. If they get mad and stop being your friend then they were not worth the friendship anyways. If they are just a roomate and someone that you really arn't friends with just let them know they need to leave if there is no friendship attatchment who cares if you are nice or not.

  there's no easy way to kick someone out... seriously, its gonna have to be sort of confrontational...but you just need to have some tact when you tell your room mate its time to go. democratically, you can come up to him on a convenient time or opportunity and open up your issues. let him know that living arrangements with him has gone uncomfortable and unless he is willing to help work things out, you might have to kick him out. GOOD LUCK!

*hugs* good luck

Does the friendship have any value to you?

If it does... be honest... explain where the problems are (loud music... sloppy.... eating yer food... whatever...)

personally, if it's not a safety issue, you are stuck until the 14th... or until they can find another place.... but keep in mind...

if you make it a serious problem... word will get around... and your friend might not be able to find another mutual friend to hang with until they get back on their feet or whatever...

just my $.015...

[letsearn]

Or...
u could just could send him the link to this discussion page...  
I am sure he ll get the point.

Try telling him asap and as 'marieelissa' suggested give him time to move out...(not till sept 14 though!!)

[onfirexx84]

there isnt really a simple way jus tell dem 2 get out

[Dee5584]

All gave really good advice, but first I dont have the guts to just say get out, because I truly think he has no where else to go. And I would feel bad. I tried the whole getting another male to stay over almost ever night to make him feel unconfortable. That didnt work-he did ask me to not allow the guy to come over (lol)) which I thought was funny, cause its my place!! I cant give the money back because I dnt have it. Plus he wasnt getting it back anyway, because his friends messed up somethings in my house. I guess I have to surfer!!!!!!!!!!

Lying helps nothing, so don't make up some excuse. Tell him the truth, and if he can't handle that, you did everything that you could.

i have not had a room mate for many years and years.  but i remember when i use to have them and it is so hard to find one that will not drive you nuts.

[reneezysk]

this is why i am glad i never had roommates

I had this problem once, many years ago. There is no polite way of going about it, but don't lie to preserve their feelings. There are also laws that prevent you from just kicking someone out on their duff. In many states you are required to give a roommate 30 days notice to vacate your home. You should check the laws in your state to see what they are. After you have those facts, type up a friendly letter telling the person that they need to find another place to live by (date.) It is your home and no explination should need to be given. Send the letter by registered letter, so they have to sign for it and cannot later deny receiving it. Also keep a copy for yor records. MAKE SURE YOU SIGN AND DATE THE LETTER BEFORE SENDING IT! Then if they are not out in the time frame alloted, you can go to the courthouse and serve a formal eviction notice on them. If they know what is good for them they will not want the sherrifs department escorting them off of the property with all ofthe neighbors watching.
