    If you both are on the lease, then you better work something out.

    If it is your name on the lease only, you can follow the legal process for eviction for cause in your state.

    If it is their name only on the lease, then you have to move.

    I know it's hard to come up with money, but if you are feeling threatened, I'd rather lose my deposit $$ for breaking a lease. It'll be up to the other person to find a new roomie!! If they give you a hassle, tell him "life changes, your grandma died, or whatever, but that you have to move right away", (or whenever you think is good for you. All the $$ isn't worth what this creep might be up to -- it's a scary world -- don't risk it!!!

    Me and my three friends (All in our late 20's) have formed a team to help out our neighborhood. I wear a Jar Jar Binks costume and am the leader. Then there is the guy who wears the Grimace costume, he is the strong man. Then there is the guy who is a convicted sex offender, he wears a trenchcoat like the matrix. And lastly, their is "The Professional", he wears a cardboard Burgerking crown and a fake muscle suit. We walk around town and knock on random doors. When the person answers, I dance and do a Jar Jar quote, then make a loud screech with an air horn. While the person is reeling from the sound, the sex offender confesses that he is a sex offender (as required by his parole). Then the grimace throws some leaves and dirt into the persons house. And lastly, Muscle King plays 'me so horny' on his boombox and we dance. We have done this to hundreds of houses. Are we some kind of kings? I don't know how?
