If there is no lease, either written or oral, a landlord still can evict you. This is because the lack of a lease means that you are in a month-to-month tenancy at will and must pay rent on a monthly basis, or more frequently if you have an agreement to that effect.

As a commercial landlord, a verbal agreement means that the tenant in question can simply shut up shop and move on – there is no need for the unpleasantness that comes with evicting a commercial tenant without a lease, and the property will be in a condition to accept a new tenant in next to no time, hence the landlord …

Rights of Business Tenants without a lease Under the 1954 Act, if a business tenant has been in occupation for more than 12 months and the landlord has accepted rent payments from the tenant then, the tenant may have obtained “security of tenure”. The 1954 Act does not apply to licences or tenancies at will.

Common Points for Renters The landlord doesn’t legally have to remove your name from the lease regardless of the circumstances. Your landlord may agree to remove your name from the lease at his discretion if you ask him to do so.

But, there are other options you can consider.

1. Find someone to take over the lease from your problem roommate. Landlords that are hesitant to remove a cosigner from a lease may be more likely to agree to a simple change of names on the agreement.
2. Break the lease and move somewhere else.
3. Make the trouble roommate pay up.

Originally Answered: Can you kick your ex girlfriend out of your house? Yes if you own the house or are the only person on the lease you can have people removed from your property. If you both bought the house and signed for it or are both on the lease, you will need to convince her to leave.

You must serve her with a 30-days notice to vacate the premises and then, if she does not voluntarily leave file an unlawful detainer case against her and have it served on her.
