Roomates from hell

Ok been a while since I've posted here and I'm in such a shitty situation. My house has gone out of control and I'm having to kick out 2 roomates (we have 6 bedrooms).

Roomate 1: Moved here in mid April, said he moved here to work and that he needed a place to stay. Seemed like a nice enough guy, has a dog (small Shitzu) and we got along pretty well for the first little while. I noticed he was pretty messy but my house was pretty trashed from a party when he first moved in. Well I cleaned the house and all he did was stay home and smoke pot. He was always leaving his garbage around the house and had no job. His dog is not house broken and he does not take care of his dog. Seriously, the dog goes for no walks, he doesnt give the dog food except his scraps and had to be told to clean up after his dog. I told him that the dog had to be housebroken or it would go and that it was the same situation for him. He has to clean up after himself and the bills needed to get paid. I told him they were due on May 12th, plus he was 40$ short on his rent. Well on the 12th he told me he sent me the money, yesterday I asked him where the cash was and we worked out a deal, he pays me 50$ now and pays me the rest on friday, well he then tried to get me to call my friend for 100$ worth of pot!! I told him no I wasn't going to do that and he got mad at me??? WTF?!! So I spoke to the landlord and told him I want to kick him out and he supports me his name is not on the lease so I'm telling him he has to go by tomorrow. I also found out later he had bought himself new shoes and owes another roomate over 100$ for phone bills.

Roomate 2: Read my previous post we've had problems with this guy before, but what he did is just plain weird and creepy. Another one of my roomate, I'll call him Zach, brother's girlfriend unexpectly had a baby. She is just out of highschool and has a crazy father. Well the crazy father called roomate 2 looking for her and somehow got roomates 2 number. After she had the baby roomate 2 went to the hospital to go see her. Now she has met him twice before, and was really uncomfortable with him in the room. Not only that but he trashed talked Zach and told her that he doesn't give a shit about the baby, only cares about himself and that he hates living here. Zach finds this out and calls me up and is fucking livid, and he wants him out of the house. That was enough for me to go kick him out, he has until June 1st to stay and he's out. Man roomates is such a tricky situation but this is ridicilious. Can't wait until June.

Young roomates suck. I've found girls not that much better than guys just a differant set of schizo shit to deal with. Get character references and not from close buddys. They should be from former or current employers or people like teachers. Also what are you doing to vet these people? Are you interviewing them at all?
 
Dude you are so within your bounds by giving those loosers the boot. I understand that roomies are a necessary evil, especially these days, but you have to tread carefully. Treat it like a job interview...demand income verification...references, etc. Ask why they are moving in the first place, and the first wiff of bullshit, feel free to say NEXT.
 
I used to have a roommate who worked for the FBI, and he always sneaked into my room searching my stuff whenever I left for school. Kind of creepy, but I knew who he was from the start. After staying in the house for almost a year, he moved out.
