I ahve a question. I own a 2 family and rent out a room to a person in the apt. I live in, with a couple other kids. I will be giving a 30 day notice to one of them. I was informed by another roommate that he will raise a ruckus if it ever happens. Everything was done verbally as far as rent and utilities go. The issue my other roommate said he was going to brign up was utilities, ("that ti si the landlord's responsibility to pay") although he verbally agreed, with witnesses mind you, he would pay 1/4 of. Now will the law see me as a landlord or a roommate? For I fear this will take a court appointment down the road.
