Can your apt complex evict you for your spouse getting arrested?

What does the lease say about defaults?\n\nI just looked in my lease and there is a section that states you can be evicted for "you or any occupant is arrested, charged, detainted, convicted, or give deferred adjudication for a felony offense involving actual or potential physical harm to a person, or involving possession, manufacture, or delivery of a controlled substance, marijuana, or drug paraphernalia"\n\nSo...yes they can. Look in your lease to see if it is in there, I'm betting it is. Look for something that says "DEFAULT BY RESIDENT" or something.

You can file for a restraining order and have them removed from your apartment.

He's not personally liable until after he's been made aware of their behavior and had a chance to do something about it.  Even then, what he can be expected to do will be determined by the landlord-tenant codes of the state for evicting a tenant for breach of the lease.

It depends on your lease,  but you should be able to contact the local law enforcement agency and get your stuff out of the house. I would get a copy of the canceled checks A.S.A.P. and contact the police and get my stuff out now. Also have a copy of the lease. Good Luck

In California (and I suspect in most states), an arrest is public information.  Here, it's only public for a period of time (I think it's 30 days).\n\nI don't know what kind of "personal information" was released, but I'd suspect it was only that which is legally allowed.  I have not read the info at the link below, but it looks to me like it's going to tell you what can be released and what can not.\n\nIt's also worth pointing out (especially to the person who commented previously on it) that printing an arrest in the newspaper isn't the same as violating the "innocent until proven guilty" rule.  It's just reporting facts...that a person was arrested, and perhaps the circumstances surrounding the arrest.\n\nOne of the things you asked was what you can do to end this.  The obvious answer (don't commit crimes) is too late, I suppose.  It's possible you can't end it...the cat is out of the bag, so to speak.  Certainly your fiance should avail himself of any possible legal remedies if his rights are violated (terminated just because he was arrested, evicted just because he was arrested, etc.), but that may be the only things available to him.  \n\nOne more thing: when/if your fiance's case is either dropped or he is found not guilty, most newspapers will print that as well if you contact them and ask them to.  \n\nBest of luck.

Not if it is not mentioned in your lease and you are current on your rent.

This is a tough situation and there is no really good solution.\n\nRemember that what someone can "legally" do is not really a practical limit on what they may actually do. Worse still, you can have all sorts of legal rights but if the only way to exercise them is to go to court then the solution may be worse than the problem.\n\nThe only thing is really to get the stuff out right now. If the apartment is in the other person's name then she's not going to get any immediate help from the legal system.\n\nEDIT: From another question that you posted I'm now unsure if this is a room mate situation or a landlord-tenant case. Please clarify. It affects the answer.

If you don't you can't legally rent them.  So if you rent them and you get a deadbeat tenant you are trying to evict, the judge won't allow your vacancy loss or back rent because you didn't rent out a legal apt.

Does her landlord know that you are living there? If she has no rental agreement with the building, they can't "evict" her so to speak, if there's no paperwork, there can't be a real court hearing or anything. If the landlord likes you so much I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to convince them to let you stay in your own apartment. Just tell them that you really like staying here and you'd like to keep on staying there. It's weird that there's no agreements or leases or anything...not very smart on the landlord's part.

getting a restraining order will require proof of harassment or violence, and going to court. \n\nsince he is not on the lease, and you have asked him to leave, you have a very clear path to follow. \n\n1. Put together a written notice, signed by all residents of the apt., and add a witness just for good measure. keep a copy of it in a safe place. Give him an absolute deadline for when he must be out, with the clear stipulation that he will be removed by the police on a specific date if he does not, and charged with trespassing. if you're worried about stealing or vandalism in retaliation, make it clear to him that if such occurs, he will be charged to the fullest extent of the law.\n\n2. change the locks immediately thereafter. \n\n3. any damage or stealing that goes on in retaliation should be documented fully. (pics, witnesses.)

No, there are laws concerning the rights of personal belongings. You need give her written notice of intent to move, store,sell, or destroy the Items. You can charge a storage fee, payable if the items are not removed in a reasonable amount of time, say 30 days, but again proper notice needs to be given. If your renting, read the fine print on the lease regarding personal Items left after moving, or ask your landlord what they would do. If your unable to notify your ex-roommate with in 90 days, You can post a small add in the local news paper under lost Items found. then if they don't respond in two weeks you can do what ever you like with the items, and still hold your ex responsible for storage and removal charges for up to seven years as long as you post the same ad in the paper each year to show interest in the charges in case you take  the ex to court. All ads, court fees, storage and removal fees, are your ex's responsibility to pay if you do it right. In the future , all roommates should enter into a mutual agreement in writing regarding such things. It's important to consider all "what if's" in these types of agreements. Good luck.

In 30 days you run the risk of foricble evicture from the Sherrif's Office.\n\nThe landlord may also be able to seize all of your personal items and sell them for any moneys owed in lease costs.\n\nDon't mess around.
