Lease Termination (tenant, mortgage, mortgage, landlord)

[idontwannamove216]

I have a question that I'm sure has been asked a million times so forgive me for asking again...

I bought a home in April and it was a little out of my price range. It's 3 bedrooms so I live in the Master bedroom and rent out the other 2 bedrooms for rent (which I, then, pay my mortgage with).

Well one of the bedroom occupants is driving me insane. He started his lease on May 1 and it ends in December.

Is there any way for me, as the "landlord" to terminate his lease? I'm not asking him for $ or anything, I just want him to leave.

Thanks for your help.

You will probably do better with this question in the renting forum.

It is all going to come down to the lease though. What does it say?

Oh, I didn't realize there was a Renting forum. I posted it there, now. Thanks Manderly

That's kinda the problem (with the lease)... it doesn't really say anything about early termination.

It all comes down to what's allowed in the lease terms regarding termination, and your state tenant laws. You may need to consult with an attorney to understand your options. Will be difficult to evict him unless he has violated some requirement of the lease.

Edit: I just read your post and a reply in the rent forum. Good suggestion to first ask him if he will leave voluntarily, and perhaps offer to help pay for relocation.

Yeah, I may just do that...I plan on giving him back his last month's rent $500 and security deposit of $150. Fair enough?

It's up to the renter to decide what's fair to him. Good luck.
