Eviction of a MTM tenant without cause.

[Chris Thomas]

I am in a 50/50 partnership over a duplex in Idaho. My partner and I are not married but have been together for 8 years. We bought the duplex and rented it out to two of my childhood friends. My partner is now sleeping with one of them. This situation is disturbing my enjoyment of the property. I want to evict him. Is this enough of a cause? Do I even need a cause to evict with a month to month tenant? NOTE: I spoke with an attorney, he says she can’t stop my decision to evict.

I'm confused. Is your "partner" a sexual partner and also a partner in ownership? Or do they just share ownership? Or do they just share a bed?

If they share ownership, how would you evict them? Even if they only share a bed, on what grounds would you evict them? Have they violated any contractual obligation in a written lease?

Personal advice: shacking up with someone has a high degree of failure, as does renting to friends or family. You may want to consider asking your "partner" to buy out your share of ownership so you can move on.
