I am renting a property. How do I evict my roommate?

I am renting a property and I invited someone to come and live with me. There was no signed lease. I need to evict this person. The landlord doesn't want to get involved. Do I sign in the landlord section since the landlord wants me to handle the eviction?

I am renting a property and I invited someone to come and live with me. There was no signed lease. I need to evict this person. The landlord doesn't want to get involved. Do I sign in the landlord section since the landlord wants me to handle the eviction?

Are there any other details you'd like me to pass on?

No.

In terms of the eviction notice, do I sign where the landlord would sign? The landlord told me it is up to me to get this person removed from the property.

Yes, here you are their "landlord" since you invited them to come live with you without a lease. They are effectively your subtenant, for lack of a better term, and you are their landlord.

Okay, thank you!
