I had a b/f, g/f break up situation. Mutual agreement. B/f who moved out 3 months later is sending his new g/f over to claim some left over items and b/f refuses to sign name off Lease.
Legally, would it be in my best interest to leave b/f's name on lease and inform tenant of either filing for a writ of possession through the county and/ or harassment charges?
Any suggestions welcomed! --173.21.xxx.xx |

I'm confused -- he has moved out and doesn't WANT his name off the lease? Usually it is the reverse (i.e. he wants off the lease and wants to leave the LL stuck with just the one remaining). But he WANTS to stay on? Why?
How long is left on the lease?
In any case, yes, you generally, as the LL, want to keep him on the lease so that he is "jointly and severally" responsible for all rent and other debts.
I would inform the tenant that he is still on the lease and responsible until the end unless other mutually-agreed (among all THREE of you) arrangements are made in writing.

Following the release from the lease will be the request of half the deposit, sorry but the jointly/severally clause is in effect until the unit is empty of all food, furniture and packages - then you must follow your state/local laws on the accounting statement regarding deductions from the damage deposit. --75.94.xxx.xxx |

Why would you file for writ of possession? What would be your grounds?
What would be your grounds for harassment charges? Who is harassing you? What kind of harassment charges do you have in IA?

Moshe: If you read what was written, it talks about her telling the TENANT to either file a write or harassment charges, not the Landlord.
(I don't think either of those are called for here either way -- I'm just pointing out that there wasn't talking of the LL doing that themselves. They meant the tenant.)

Oops -- Typo. I meant "writ", not "write", of course. :)

What was written was, "inform tenant of either filing for a writ of possession through the county and/ or harassment charges"
Does it say who would be filing on whom?
Tenant doesn't file for a writ of possession, does he? He already has possession. And, on what grounds would he file for a writ of possession?
And, who is harassing whom? What sort of laws does IA have about harassment, anyway? For example, CA has tort suits for harassment and power to grant restraining orders against Civil Harassment, but no criminal harassment "charges". Whomever is considering such a suit should be aware of what harassment is (according to IA law) and what kind of charges are available for a judge to grant. It is unlikely to mean just anything that the plaintiff doesn't like.
