THERE IS NO TENANCY IN A ROOMMATE SITUATION.....

ESPECIALLY WHEN THE PRIMARY TENANT DOES NOT WANT THAT PERSON LIVING WITH THEM IN THEIR APARTMENT....

IF THE SITUATION IS DISAGREEABLE TO THE PRIMARY TENANT THE ROOMMATE HAS NO RIGHTS TO REMAIN 5 SECONDS BEYOND THAT DECISION.... EVEN A WRITTEN CONTRACT CANNOT KEEP A " STRANGER" IN YOUR " HOME " NO MATTER WHAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU CALL THE POLICE AND ASK THEM TO " ESCORT " THE PERSON OUT OF THE APT. YOU CANNOT BE FORCED BY " ANY " LAW TO KEEP A PERSON " INSIDE YOUR HOME/APT "..

YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THAT THE " ROOMMATE" MAY TRY TO SUE YOU IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT FOR ENDING THIS VERBAL
AGREEMENT OF TRYING IT OUT... BUT THE WORDS TRYING IT OUT IMPLY A VERY WEAK CONNECTION TO ANY PERMANENCY...

IF YOU WANT HER OUT YOU TELL HER TO " GET OUT " AT " ANY " TIME............ YOU DO NOT NEED TO GIVE HER 30 DAYS..NOTICE..
THAT LAW QUOTED IS IN REGARDS TO A WRITTEN LEASE BY A LANDLORD / TENANT...." NOT FOR ROOMMATE " WHERE IT IS STRICTLY UP TO THE PRIMARY TENANT.....

WHEN THEY TOLD US THAT WE SHOULD LAY DOWN OUR SWORDS AND PICK UP PENS AND THAT THE PEN WAS MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD AND THAT LAWS WOULD BE ENACTED SO THAT THEY BE FAIR AND JUST SO AS THAT WE WOULD BE SATISFIED WITH IT AND NOT NEED TO SETTLE DISPUTES WITH SWORDS BUT THAT THE PEN WOULD REPLACE IT..THE LAW WAS BUILT ON " COMMON SENSE FAIRNESS AND EQUITY "...
NO LAW CAN KEEP A " STRANGER IN YOUR HOME WHEN THE PRIMARY TENANT/OR OWNER NO LONGER WANTED THAT STRANGER TO SHARE UNDER THEIR ROOF "

UNTIL SOMEONE SHOWS ME STATUTE LAW WITH THE PAGE NUMBER ETC, THAT SAYS DIFFERENT.... I REMAIN AS ALWAYS
YOUR FRIEND FOREVER,

SANTA
