So your telling me if they arent paying rent and if he goes to the courts and gets the paper work he cant kick them out?

He had a roommate who fell behind on rent and he carried him for a while. I got the impression that the roommate is now square with the house. If he's not, then there is a process for evicting tenants. That process in every state involves notice and an opportunity to cure. The courts of most states have held, in the residential leasing context, that acceptance of future rent payments and failure to give notice of default will, after some period of time, result in a waiver of allegedly past due sums.
Rights are great things, but in court the judges think of them as "use it or lose it" propositions. Evicting a guy for non-payment of rent that is CURRENTLY still in default and in accordance with all applicable procedures is one thing. Telling a guy to leave because he's uncomfortable with a third-party having a key and access to his stuff, and in the case of some of you yahoos, suggesting a forcible eviction without process, is another thing entirely.
And no, I would not take the case of someone I found morally reprehensible. But in the case of my young lawyer trial for those college hotties, they were clearly the ones with valid grievences and the judge agreed. (BTW, so did the appeals court).
