San Francisco, CA :
Roomate 1 and I want Roomate 2 out - cause things aren't working out. After checking with the SF Rent Board, a person there (not a lawyer) said that since Roomate 2 pays rent to the landlord (even though not on lease) he is a tenant and the landlord needs just cause for removal. Tracey said that since he isn't on the lease he is on a m-to-m agreement with the landlord and doesn't require just cause for removal. How can he have protection of the lease (by requiring just cause) yet not the liability of the lease (having to pay for rent,damages,etc.) - I don't believe it can be both ways. Please help.
