Tenant roommate refuses to move out

[Janet Thaxton]

Just when I thought I had my first deal under way!!! Here it goes.. My client wants to sell his house and relocated his tenants to another location. The problem is his tenants had a roommate who was not on the lease and is not currently paying rent. The roommate told the landlord to take them to court to get them out. Please help! Does the roommate have any rights? How does he get the roommate out? If the house sells can the new owner put them out by way of sheriff?
