Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Texas
roommate
I have a roomie that isn't paying bills and has only paid rent and still owes 2 months. There is no written agreement. What can I do to get her and her stuff out. I have already told her to move out, all she has moved out is her pots and pans. What are her rights?

Re: roommate
Your question is a little confusing. She has not paid rent in two months, or she has paid the rent? Without a written agreement, you will have difficulty trying to evict her for not paying utilities. She is effectively a month-to-month tenant you will need to follow the statutory procedures for eviction under a month-to-month tenancy.
