An Even Better Option for Disgruntled Roommates

To avoid being evicted for nonpayment of rent, tenants must always ensure that their rental is paid up. This is why everyone must pay their portion of the rent. But if one person doesn’t pay, it puts the onus on the rest of the housemates to carry the slack.

But if this does happen, the paying roommates can sue the non-paying one for not paying rent. As per nolo.com, you’ll need to have your ducks in a row. This means you need documented proof that the rent was shared and that the person hasn’t been bringing their part. This can come in the form of bank statements.
