Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Ohio
My son and his girlfriend had sign a lease for an apartment in July of 2013 his girlfriend has decided to move out and wants her name removed off the lease.The rental agency is telling my son if she turns in her keys then they will have to evict him because she wants off the lease.My question would be if the rent is current and he wants to stay there would they be aloud to evict him because she wants to walk away? The rent is current not behind and I had thought they could not evict you if you have not violated any of the rules on the lease it would be the same thing as if one would lose their job then the other person on the lease would cover so I'm not understanding with a sign lease shouldn't it have to stay the same until there was non payment or a violation before they can evict someone?

In Ohio, much would depend upon what the lease said. If the lease did not say that both tenants had to live there and the full rent was being paid by one person, then I don't see how her leaving would be a breach of the lease sufficient to support an eviction.
