Taking someone off the lease against their will
I'm looking for some advice. Please don't tell me to consult a lawyer; that's why I'm asking it here.
A mother and her 2 children signed a lease. 2 years later, the mom died. The boy was 17 and the girl was 16. The boy just turned 18 and hates his sister. I believe the girl moved out but I'm not 100% sure. He wants her off the lease and thinks he has the right because he's over 18 and she's not. Their aunt now has legal custody of the girl. Can I take her off the lease without her signature or would I be violating her tenant rights?
