Laws current as of September 30, 2024

If I end my lease, will my roommate or family members be kicked out of the residence?

The only people who will have to leave the residence with you are any household members that you specifically listed in the notice you gave your landlord. Otherwise, if your roommate or family members are listed as “tenants” on the lease, their tenancy still continues, even if you end yours.1

Note: An abuser cannot end his/her lease early under this law.2
