Can Landlord Kick Me Out for Calling Roommate the "B" Word?

I agree with this, in fact, it may be alot harder to kick someone out for name-calling. You can be kicked out of living arrangement for any reason, but for the law to intervene...it takes sometime to thoroughly evicted, someone especially when rent is paid (on-time), a pattern of disturbance and no crime has been committed. It would be one thing, if he did it continually, while playing loud music every night and coming to the place PISSED DRUNK and starting fights. The landlord has to PHYSICALLY to go to the court and ask for an eviction and it has to be within reason, especially if a lease is involved or money is being taken ... or the owner throws a shotgun on him. IN realm of rational law abiding people, for argument sake's, let's say the owner files tomorrow...the judge has got to review, first ... and may even look over the original agreement, if one was taken, because he is paying rent and has not broken, any laws or anything outlined in the lease. A "pattern" has to have been established ... which is the problem will have in kicking him out...there's no pattern and he has to serve OP with a "notice" - "notice to quit" (basically a warning) to stop distasteful behavior. Another problem for the landlord, the notice has to be served at least a week, up towards month, before the eviction process begins. OP is going to get another week to possibly a month to respond to eviction proceeding. It maybe another week to a month, before any type of trial. Even when the trial comes the court (judge) may not even like the reason for the eviction and give the tenant reason time to move out ... from what I've seen even for non-payment evictions, those cases can be given several weeks, up to a month and half, before belongings are out on the street.

If there are no criminal actions or a continued pattern of disruptive behavior going on ... it could last several months, like 3-5, easily. Another problem for the landlord ... is $$$$$. It could cost him/her hundreds to thousands to evict someone. Court fees; Filing fees; and if the lease isn't broken, the landlord may actually have to pay the tenant money for not breaking the lease, but kicking them out.

 

SacTown, still think you're better than the OP (and everyone on cf.net)?

 

Were you getting some at least? Don't think I could put up with living a attractive chick that I couldn't bang. Not worth it

 

Your roommate must be your mother/sister, and landlord your father right? Talk it out bro, yall are damily!

 

Oh, dude. Pics of you with her in it is your property.

How hot she is is practically 51% of the vote on whether or not you should fight to stay there.

 

That's the thing ... your landlord has nothing to gain from this situation ... if he tries to evict you for that incident, you stand to gain more money from than incident than he does. He's has to give you a notice (to quit), if it happens again or repeatedly, then he can file an eviction request. Outside of that, you do not have to leave unless you want ... you simply need to ask him to either sign a written contract stating he won't sue you for leaving/breaking your lease, he needs to terminate the lease (mutually), or pay you for your trouble. He has no leg to stand on judiciously, as long as you are paying rent and generally not a pest.

 

You are weak.

 

Don't post pics...it was just a joke bc we're 99% dudes here.

 

Ignore ^^that guy. Post pics.

 

Don't listen to this guy. Post the pics. There's absolutely no way that can backfire on you.

 

I retract my statement and would follow the advice of the coolest girl on the board.
