Hey my roommate doesnt clean anymore. We have a plan for cleaning and he just ignores it. I am the landlord.

> Can you get rid of him and find someone else? Could you live alone or do you need the money?I am so glad I don't have to have roommates anymore. I had a guy once who had a private bathroom and when he left after nearly a year and I went in, it was clear he had never cleaned it. So gross! I had another roommate who never left her room or spoke to anybody. I suppose she was severely depressed, but I didn't know from depression then and just hated having her around. Now I live alone. Not even a husband to deal with anymore. I can keep my place exactly how I want it and it's such a nice feeling.

I can get rid of him. He has to leave in 6 months. I have terminated his contract. I think dorms can work...

I love my house. But it would be a waste of money to live here alone. Plus, when its good company, its good to have someone around. I can't live in this house alone. It's too big!

It would be a waste. I guess in America you can still decide who is living in your house and how long. But here you cant do nothing. It's like, hey it's your house but you don't call the shots in it. So I can have somebody in my house I don't want for 6 months. When I furnish the rooms it's 3 months. It's still pretty insane. This is a tenant country, not a landlord country at all!
There is a 3 months or 6 months cancellation period.

Wow! That stinks. It's not all that easy to get rid of a tenant in some cities in the US, though, since there is no limit on rent increases, landlords will generally get rid of people just by raising the rent.
But in the US, this would not be a tenant situation, but a roommate situation and few courts will require that people should put up wth problems with a roommate. I'm sure there are situations where a roommate refuses to leave and you have to go to court to get them out.
Back when I had a big place and needed a roommate, I interviewed a woman with a baby (it was two private rooms with a private bath in this enormous apartment). I told her no - if it didn't work out, I'd be hard-pressed to throw her and a baby out on the streets and the courts would probably give her lots of time to move, if it came to that.

He agreed to help pay for a cleaning professional. Its still awkward to live with him.
