How do you get your roommate to move out?
I can’t stand living with my roommate anymore. I’ve been watching, hoping to catch him doing something that I could get him evicted for, but he hasn’t actually broken the lease—he’s just rude. How can I get my roommate to move out?

If your roommate is on the lease and he hasn’t violated the terms of the lease in any significant way, then you cannot force him to move out. As unpleasant as he sounds, he has every right to be there.
If you want to get your roommate to move out before the end of his lease, your only option is to simply sit down and have a frank but objective conversation about why you don’t think that the two of you should remain roommates. Remember not to take an accusative attitude—that will be counterproductive.
If you’ve tried talking honestly with your roommate, and he still refuses to leave, there’s nothing that you can do to force him out unless he breaks the law and/or the lease.
You may have no choice but ride out the rest of the lease unless you’re willing to move.
I’m sorry that you have to deal with an unstable living situation. Putting up with an annoying roommate is one of the most awful things you’ll ever have to do. Sadly,
