I live in a 2br house and have a spare room for rent. After going through references, checking credit, etc. I rented to the room to someone. We signed a 6 month sublease agreement, he was to give me first half month (he moved in the middle of the month) and last month's rent. He said as a sign of good faith he would give me 2 months rent up front. And he later gave me another month's rent so now he's essentially paid until November 30.
I found out recently that he didn't disclose information about himself as well as lied to me about his recent living situation and where he was for the last year. I made the mistake of not googling him when he applied, and now I am finding that I will probably never not google ANYONE, not just renters, but people in general, after this experience!
Do I have the right to evict him due to this nondisclosure? If so, do I have to give notice and do I need to give back the portion of the remaining rent once he moves out?
I would be willing to let him stay until the end of November, however I no longer trust him and that makes me uncomfortable
