My husband and I are divorcing (not yet filed) and live in a rental home. We originally signed a one year lease in both of our names. The lease expired several months ago but we remain in the house. I have ALWAYS paid the entire rent and paid the security deposit upon move-in. We have separate bank accounts, thus I can prove these payments. My husband does not have the financial ability to pay the monthly rent as he is on social security disability and has other financial obligations of his own. He refuses to vacate our rental house. I was thinking of asking for a new lease in my name only but am not sure that this is enough to get him out. I have even offered to pay the first months rent if he would find an affordable room to rent in another location but he refuses this also. I would vacate myself but I do not wish to lose my $1500.00 security deposit. Does anyone have any advice? Can I petition the court to order him to leave when I do file? Helpppppppppppp....I'm between a rock and a hard place.
