Hello. I currently live in an apartment with three other people. The roommate in question, let's call her Kim, has had a sudden "career" change and for the past month has been sleeping with men for money and going on drug binges. She met this man who runs some sort of "service" and according to her has connections to the mob. That part might be an exaggeration on her part, but we've all met this pimp and he has bragged about how much money he gets for each girl he brings in. He also asked my roommate's boyfriend if he would be interested in an eleven year old girl. It's really disturbing and quite disgusting.

We were not pleased when we found out Kim was selling herself, but she was hardly at the house so we tried to forget about all of it. Lately, she's been bringing her pimp and his friends around the house. They have late night parties including many drugs and this all takes place during the week when the rest of the house needs to get up in the AM. They are consuming our liquor, food and quite frankly, I'm afraid that I'm going to come home or wake up and find things stolen. This pimp of Kim's also threatened to put us "all out on the street" if we ever talked mean to Kim. We've asked her to come home and discuss the situation. We've asked her NOT to bring this man or his friends around the house because we feel very uncomfortable. She yells and claims she will stay till her lease is up and will continue to bring him over every night.

I woke up this morning to take a shower before work to find some random man and woman in my bathroom snorting lines. My roommate "Kim" was nowhere to be found...I'm assuming she was sleeping in her room. I can't believe this situation and my other roommates and I have had enough. I want to move out, but my roommates feel that we shouldn't be the ones to leave. We've contacted our landlord and made an official complaint. Our landlord also told us that she didn't think Kim was on the lease so it will be difficult to get rid of her. We're going to try to approach her peacefully to move out, but we tried that two weeks ago and she flipped out. She's also stopped talking about it..almost as if she thinks we're OK with the situation now. I'm afraid she is going to have this pimp of hers do something to our house or even us personally. We'll also need to collect utilities from her and I feel like she is going to try to dick us over in any way possible. Can we change the locks if she ever moves out? I'm afraid that if we ask her to move out again that something bad will happen. I'm scared for my life, my roommates' lives and all of our belongings. What can we do? Please help.
 
Well there is a legal right way to do this and a non legal. If Kim brings any more strangers to your house ask them to leave.

You can tell Kim she needs to find another place ASAP and that you are serving her with an eviction. If she is not on the lease you still need to give her 30 days legally. You might want to research landlord tenant law for your state.

Now, if you tell her she needs to pack up her stuff and be out within 2 weeks, then that is not the legal way to do it but whether or not she will take you to court, and whether a judge will be sympathetic to her is another story.

When she is collecting her things, have a witness there so that she takes only what is hers and that she cannot dispute anything.
