My question involves an eviction in the state of: Kentucky
I currently own and live in my home along with two roommates (lodgers?) and my dog. Roommate A has been there a while and I've known them for close to 10 years, Roommate B moved in this spring and generally good on the terms of the lease but they do not get along with the dog - so much so that I have spent time with trainers to try and work on the situation but so far there is very little progress which seems to be related to Roommate B since the dog does not have the same issues with other people.
This past weekend I was out and Roommate A and the dog were on the couch when B walked by and the dog started barking. At this point B went off and started yelling and made comments about hitting the dog with a bat and other things along those lines and made some movements that caused the dog to cower and run away. This made Roommate A rather uncomfortable, to the point that they are keeping their door barricaded and are concerned for both their own safety and that of the dog. This is not the first time B has yelled at the dog but it is the first instance I am aware of that involved a physical threat.
That said - the initial (verbal) lease term was for one year, starting in April of this year, however there is a typo in the lease stating that:
...dwelling located at [address], for the period commencing on the 1st day of April, 2014, and monthly thereafter until the last day of March, 2014, at which time this Agreement is terminated...
(emphasis mine)
There is also a segment stating:
Conducting him/herself, his/her family, friends, guests and visitors in a manner which will not disturb others. Resident warrants that he/she will meet the above conditions in every respect, and acknowledges that failure to do so will be grounds for termination of this agreement and loss of all deposits without further recourse.
All that said - Am I able to terminate Roommate B's residency without violating anything lease related or am I in a hard spot? I plan on mentioning leaving in a more casual manner but before I get too into it I would like to know about where I stand from a legal standpoint so I don't do something like kick B out and end up in court. From my point of view there would be no financial penalties associated with B leaving, I just want everyone to be fine with where they live.
Thank you for the help!
