PadSplit Evictions: A Host's Guide to Terminating and Removing a Member

Co-living moves fast, and PadSplit evictions are a different animal than a traditional lease eviction. Members sign a PadSplit Membership Agreement, not a year-long lease, but Hosts are still the ones who have to walk a terminated Member out the door — or take them to court if they refuse to leave. This guide breaks down when a PadSplit Member can be terminated, what PadSplit handles versus what you handle, and how to prepare a clean eviction filing that a judge will actually grant.

When can a PadSplit Member be terminated?

PadSplit can terminate a Member's contract for any of the following reasons:

• The Member is $300 or more behind on dues and/or fines.
• The Member receives a low Member Score — a 1, or a 2 for more than four consecutive weeks.
• The Host issues a Notice to Vacate.
• The Member violates PadSplit's Violence Policy.
• PadSplit determines the Member is a threat to shared-living principles.

Members terminated for collections can return after paying their back balance. Members terminated for a low Member Score or under the Violence Policy are banned from the platform.

PadSplit terminates the Membership — you handle the eviction

This is the part Hosts most often miss: PadSplit's termination ends the Member's contract on the platform, but the legal removal from the property is the Host's responsibility. PadSplit's own help center is clear that "Platform Hosts are responsible for peacefully removing or legally evicting terminated Members."

If the Member leaves voluntarily, you flip the room and you're done. If they don't, you file an eviction through your county's magistrate or housing court — and the clock starts the moment you post notice.

Preparing for a PadSplit eviction filing

Before filing, PadSplit asks Hosts to take three steps inside the Host Dashboard:

1. Keep the Member's room in Needs Flip status.
2. Update the Member's status to Present.
3. Update the Member's status to Eviction.

Next, email support@padsplit.com with the Member's full name, the property address, and the room number. PadSplit Support will send back a ledger containing the information your filing service or attorney needs:

• Member name, email, and phone number
• LLC name (the plaintiff)
• Property address and room number
• Date of termination and reason
• Total rent due at termination and the running balance today
• Weekly rate, daily rate, and any additional charges or late fees

If the termination was for behavior, you'll also receive the signed Membership Agreement, the specific violations, copies of the three violation notifications sent to the Member, the dates they were notified, and how those notifications were delivered.

Post the notice — and prove it was served

As of January 2025, most counties require a 3-day notice posted on the Member's door with proof of service before an eviction case will be heard. Skip the posting, or fail to document it, and the judge can throw the case out — even when the underlying termination is rock-solid.

Keep the lease, ledger, and notice with proof of service in one folder so your attorney or filing service has everything ready before the case hits the docket.

Where Reliable Property Experts fits in

Reliable Property Experts does not file evictions. We handle the set-out labor step — the crew that physically removes a Member's belongings once the writ of possession has been issued and the sheriff schedules the set-out.

Keeping your PadSplit eviction rate low

The best eviction is the one you never have to file. Operators that run a tight Member-management playbook see far fewer terminations turn into court filings. Highest Management, for example, reports a less than 3% eviction rate across the PadSplit portfolios they manage by acting on rule violations early, keeping balances current, and documenting every interaction inside the Host Dashboard.

Pair that operational discipline with a filing partner that can move quickly when an eviction is unavoidable, and you protect both the room's revenue and the rest of the household.
