Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Can I evict them?
I'm renting a townhouse in
Hillsborough County, FL. I have a
roommate that is listed on the lease
as a tenant, but the lease is in my
name. We made an agreement
that she would have to pay a set
amount every month, but that she
would help me out with bills, due to
her financial issues. Since then, we
are no longer talking and I feel
uncomfortable in my own home. I
no longer want here, but since
there is no written agreement or
financial agreement, is there any
legal way i can ask her to leave, or
since i'm not the landlord, does he
have to? Or is it only up to me
asking her to leave?

Re: Can I evict them?

I'm assuming that the agreement that she'll pay you a set amount every month and help you with bills is not in writing.

If she has a lease that she's not violating, you can ask her to leave, but it's up to her.
