It depends upon the circumstances. If it is a divorce, then through a divorce decree. If it is a shared living arrangement, is the other party paying rent. If so, tenant eviction. If no rent (meaning they don't cover any expenses) then they are now trespassing if you tell them to leave. However, the situation can become very sticky and difficult.
It depends if they are married, unmarried, rent or own (jointly or by one person). If one roommate is basically just a tenant without a lease, then they just need proper notice under Florida law, which depends on how often they pay rent (e.g. monthly payment requires 15 days written notice by landlord to terminate tenancy). if you are both on a lease, you are both responsible for the rent. Regards,
Evioction is required since they originally were permitted on the premises.
