Can't force them to move until the lease is up

Why would they move out before their lease is up? They have every right to finish out their lease, you move in on the month your lease begins not the day you sign papers. Check the dates closely or speak with the landlord

They don't have to move out after either.

Landlord will have to start eviction process if they don't move out on time. Will take a few months.

True, though since they describe it as “moving in” it seems like a new lease and not a sub of an existing lease

I’d do the Craftsbury Outdoors center. Beautiful trails.

I'm not sure why the downvotes. It is a huge hassle. Making sure 2 phones are charged at all times. It's nearly impossible to keep them in the same pocket so you have to get a belt holster.

The lease is a contract with a start date so that is a claim to the place. Reach out to a housing or contract lawyer (there are free services in the state) and explain the situation. The current tenant has a move out date. If they have made it clear that they are not leaving at that date the landlord should be preparing to evict. That’s not your place but you should speak to the landlord to make sure they are going to deal with it. As soon as there was an executed lease, you are under contract. I don’t think you’ll be legally obligated to pay rent to keep the contract valid but an attorney can explain everything.

To reiterate what has already been said, the lease isn’t up so they don’t have to do anything. Maybe they haven’t found an apt to move to? Ask them if they need help and don’t be a dick about it.

Ahh that makes sense. Now I see why it's best to work for a company first, and then utilize their expertise for training and the exam.

>Realtor is a trademarked term and refers only to real estate salespeople who are members of the National Association of Realtors.

That's actually very helpful. I thought they were interchangable, but now I see that it's just a subsection.

Thank you for taking the time to write all of this up. I hope you have a great rest of your holidays.

Right? What's to consider? Just do it

Tell them their woodpile looks like a high schooler stacked it.

Start low if you can. Offer a 1000 and tell them they get the cash when they move their stuff and hand over the key. Document the exchange as well, even if just a cell phone video of what is taking place.

I feel like we need more info here to offer relevant advice... You say "the lease is signed", does that mean that you and your friend have signed the lease that starts on January 1? Or does it mean you friend has signed the lease and you've been invited to join your friend in the apartment? Has the "current person in the room I'm taking" signed anything? All those are important points to determine who has legal standing in this case.

Tenants can evict subtenants. OP posted and ghosted without many details so hard to tell how the lease was structured and what their options may be

Cut your losses, look for another place. Bad vibes.

So I'm not the only one that thinks this is odd?

That’s how I got my squatter to fuck off. 1,500$ (and the months of sublet rent I never collected). I wonder how that psychopath is doing these days…

To be clear, the current tenant doesn't have to, and shouldn't be expected to move out until 11:59 PM December 31st.

take this down i beg of you Cochrans is the only ski resort that is kept semi-secret and the only one i can still afford

None of this applies in this circumstance, as the OP is not the property owner, and therefore lacks standing.

Also note, the process of eviction takes many months right now, as the court system is backlogged. Expect 90-180 days for results.

Source: literally just finished an eviction that started in April 2022.

Definitely not how it works in Vermont and even if it was, only the property owner has standing.

Basically, no.
