quick question, I have tennets that don't get along and constantly are fighting. they live in same unit as room mates. they are paying rent but constantly trying to get me to play Dr. Phil. recently it's been getting out of hand and they both say they don't feel safe living with each other do I have any legal options to evict only one of them they are both on the lease. they're consistently paying rent at the moment there is a third person on the lease who picks the side of her boyfriend is there any way to get rid of the oddball if the other two parties on the lease agree? thank you!

Give them two options:

1. One of them volunteers to leave. They negotiate whatever funds exchange hands, sign a termination agreement for that one tenant, and that person leaves; or

2. Kick them both out.

Tell them to make a choice and move forward. One goes or they both go but they can't both stay.

I have a "Remove Tenant" addendum that stipulates who is leaving, when they are leaving, that they give up all rights and responsibilities to the property, and that the deposit remains with me so they have to negotiate finances on their own. It also notifies the remaining tenant that they are fully responsible for rent, the condition of the property, etc.
