When can a Member be terminated?
Last updated June 14, 2023
A Member’s contract with PadSplit may be immediately terminated if any of the following conditions are met:
- A Member fails to pay their dues and/or fines and is behind by $300 or more in payments.
- A Member is terminated for rule violations by PadSplit or their Host.
- A Member is terminated according to our Violence Policy in one of the following ways:
- Per the Host’s request
- Due to being named in a valid TPO (Temporary Protective Order) or the equivalent legal process
- PadSplit reserves the right to terminate a Member where we identify threats to shared living principles and values
If a Membership is terminated due to the Three Keys Policy or Violence Policy , the Member will be unable to return to PadSplit. Members who are terminated for collections may return to PadSplit upon paying their back balance.
As a Host, it is important to remember the following:
- Termination is not the same as eviction. While the majority of terminated individuals leave their properties promptly and peacefully, a terminated Member may refuse to leave the premises. In these instances, Hosts are responsible for complying with all applicable laws to either peacefully remove or legally evict terminated Members.
- When PadSplit terminates a Membership, we are ending the contractual relationship between PadSplit and the Member. This is separate and apart from a Host evicting a Member from the Host’s property. Regardless of PadSplit Membership status, Hosts retain the right and duty, should the need arise, to evict residents in their property. In most states, Landlord-Tenant law is very clear on what constitutes a lawful and unlawful eviction. It is the Host's responsibility to inform themselves of applicable Landlord-Tenant law and comply with relevant law. Should a Host decide to evict a PadSplit Member regardless of Membership status, the Host assumes all liability for doing so.
