Do legal occupants have rights in an apartment?
My roommate qualified to be on the lease but I didn't, so the landlord ask me if I wanted to be an occupant. I agreed to be an occupant not thinking at the time my roommate was nuts. After we had an argument about sometime petty, they told me I was only an occupant and they can kick me out when ever they wanted to. I was there every step of the way getting the apartment. My name is on the lease listed as an occupant. What I'm asking is can they just throw me out. I have witnesses and verbal aggreements for everything.

Its the tenant not the landlord that threaten to kick me out. The landlord told me they weren't sure about a couple of things on my credit report, so they ask me if I wanted to be an occupant.
                     
 




Expert Realtor
No, they cannot. Whether you are on the lease or not, they must go to court to evict you like anyone else, and must give you a 30-day notice to vacate.

If they change the locks...CALL THE POLICE..the police will tell them that they can be arrested for locking you out of where you live. It's an illegal eviction.

You don't need any witnesses....just keep some mail and other things that you have been receiving to show that is your address and it will be fine.

Meanwhile, still get out as soon as possible...b/c they could still damage your stuff if things get nasty.

I would check the laws specific to where you live but from what I have been told in Virginia as long as you have lived there for 14 days you are considered an occupant and have the same rights as all the others on the lease. Also, your lease should have a definition of what occupant means to that lease. So I would also check into that.
Good Luck

You did not specify who is trying to toss you out, but no one has a legal right to, not the land lord, not the other occupents.

Your rights are equal to the lease holder and you have to be formally evicted. If the landlord is doing the evicting he has to evict the lots of you, not just one person.

If your name is on a lease which you signed, they cannot just kick you out into the streets-it is different everywhere. See if your city or county has a tenant rights office or a website. If not, contact a law office in your area. You may be surprised about how much free info you can get when you make a nice phone call :)

In real estate a verbal agreement will not get you far. I would start packing, chances are if you don't move out on your own you will be legally evicted.

i'm an apartment manager. if u did not sign the lease cuz ur not qualified and ur roommate did cuz he does qualifies, then he has every right to kick u out. he signed the lease and u didnt, so u have no legal binds to that apartment. he's LETTING u live under his roof, basically. ur lucky to be living there if u dont qualify. we do not allow people who would not qualify onto the property.


pimpstress_dark
you're screwed, but do you have a lease agreement between you and the roommate? if you do then you have a leg to stand on.


Uncle John
A verbal agreement is worth the paper it's written on.

What protection does the lease provide for you? In some states there are additional rights written into law, and there are some that are assumed. States vary, so I would check with an attorney - take a copy of the lease with you.
