It?s about careful planning and making the right decisions that would lead to you not having this trouble with an authorized tenant.

If I were to get an authorized tenant, I would choose somebody who I have known for a very long time. I wouldn?t want to have a stranger living with me and my own apartment and potentially vista not being the rent to.

You?re lucky if you could get a landlord to accept an authorized tenant. You?re very lucky if your landlord would allow two or more authorized tenants to evict you. But you would be so unlucky if your authorized tenants would not pay you rent. Good luck!

The notice that you would have to give would depend on your state. So better check your state tenant laws.

Unfortunately, since he is your sub tenant your landlord cannot step in. It is between you and him. So you have to deal with him yourself.

All that should be a good lesson to learn the hard way. Before signing in lease agreement, you have to think about the future. Would you still be earning the same amount one year from today, would you still be at the same state one year from today? Consider all that and then cross reference your answers to your lease agreement. This way you don?t have to get an authorized tenant and you don?t have to deal with all these headaches.

If you have drafted an agreement with him then use that agreement. If not, given the 30 day notice and hope that he will move before the end of that notice.

Give him a girlfriend then you ask him for his rent in front of his girlfriend. He?ll get so embarrassed that he would decide to move out. Or, let the girlfriend do all the work for you. She could ask your authorized tenant to move in with her and that will take care of your problems.

I wouldn?t pay a sub tenant to get out of my apartment. He?s the one who stopped paying rent and he?s the one who decided to free ride. I would go ahead and file the eviction because I know that I will win. And if I win, the court will make him pay for all the court costs and that will never easy on him. Serves him right for not paying his rent.

I had a similar situation that I handled it differently. My an authorized tenant was the worst person ever and I should have known better. He won?t leave even after I gave him the 30 day notice and he won?t even sign the paperwork that says he is waving his rights as my authorized tenant. I did not have the money to go through with the whole eviction process so I began to weigh my options. Ultimately, the I figured out that giving him money to get out of my apartment will be cheaper compared to having a sheriff kick him out. So that?s what I did. I paid him.
