If she yanks you off the lease, what will the outcome be?

Homelessness, either now or when it's time for us to find a new place. Move-in requirements here are incredibly strict, and we don't have many private landlords. So the minute they see that I lived there off the lease, I'm fucked.

shes going to have to cross her grandson to make them stick. Would he (or his ressonable parents) just stand by if she tried to have you forciby evicted?

Not anymore, now that she has no way to reach him and he doesn't really talk to her. He does as she says or he too is homeless. His parents wouldn't like it, but can't do anything about it. They all live together and there's no room for us, and they can't afford to help out. She doesn't listen to anyone's dissent.

What else could she do to you?

She's already been threatening to not pay the rent anymore, and there is nothing his family can do to help, leaving me on the hook for an amount that exceeds my entire income. She's also constantly reminding me that she had my boyfriend placed on a 5150 hold and would do it to me if "I needed it." All she had to do for that to happen was report him as a missing person with a mental illness - the cops didn't stop to see if that was true before taking him in.

In regards to dealing with her in future... dont. Just tell your bf you are done with her shit and he is to interact with her from now on. You having to play messenger while his phone is broken is inconvinient but not your responsibility.

He's also not taking to her because he won't make her his problem, which is where the issues of not paying for him and reporting us as missing are heightened. She's already said she won't pay for someone who won't talk to her, which is fair, but I can't cover us both and she uses that to her advantage. He's also glad I'm not talking to her, though.

So I think that in not talking to her, I must accept the consequences of it.
