Can I kick my roommate out?

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

I live in Los Angeles, CA. I moved in to a two-bedroom duplex more than 3 years ago and signed the lease, which was month-by-month. Just this february, a new roommate moved in and signed the lease as well, month-to-month. Thing is, my boyfriend and I just got engaged and would like to live together starting this summer. We would like to live at my place since it is very close to where we each work and since I have lived there for so long, it is my home and I love it. I want my roommate to move out so that my boyfriend could move in. How would I go about kicking my roommate out?

You could offer the roomie some $$ to end his/her tenancy. Offer to pay for moving and perhaps a months rent if roomie will accommodate you.

Still wouldn't matter if the OP was not the roommates LL...

I know...But if the roommate is on a MTM lease the $ incentive might convince him/her to move. But I understand that OP can't "force the RM to move out.

**A: did you and roommate sign a lease and rent from L, or did roommate rent from you?
