Just remember, if you’re on the lease, you’re legally there. If not, then you can be kicked out. Simple as that.

What did you do to get your mother very angry that she will make such a threat? If you’re a minor and she kicks you out, then this case could be referred to social services. That is an entirely different story.

I got into a disagreement with my mother and she told me that she’ll take me off the lease agreement. She is listed as the head of household so that makes me a minor. Can she really do that to me? Can she just remove me from the lease and then kick me out on the streets?

If the fight is already too huge, then you may want to just request to the landlord that your name be taken off the lease agreement. I think it’s better if you just give up because if no amount of talk or negotiation works anymore, then it’ll be pointless to keep sharing the same flat with a roommate.

Correct. If a lease agreement was entered, then all parties must consent to dropping one name off. If an agreement is not reached, then you cannot be taken off from the lease agreement.

Don’t move in together if you’ve only known each other for a few months. Living together under one roof means there would be lots of adjustments needed.

Before deciding to move in and live together, you must first decide if you want to live with the same person for a year. If not, then it’s best to sign the lease and just have a roommate as a sublease (if the agreement allows a sublease). You may also ask your landlord to have your roommate listed as an authorized occupant.

As I always tell my children, never get into huge fights when you’re in a contract with someone else. If you must fight, never get the landlord involved. If the landlord knows that you get into frequent fights, then the LL may just decide to not renew your lease so you and your roommate will both end up looking for new apartments.

What could you possibly have done that your roommate is now threatening to take you off the lease agreement?
