MY GAY FRIEND & MY CHRISTIAN MOM ARE CLASHING ROOMMATES. WHO DO I EVICT?
I left my apartment for my mom (who had just migrated to the US, had no credit history and didn’t know the system) and my friend (who had bad credit) to live in as roommates when I got married. Despite them not having to put deposits or credit checks since I took care of that, it’s turning into a nightmare. The landlord called to tell me that the other tenants complained to him about my male gay friend. Mind you I’m 8.5 months pregnant with other worries. They said my guy friend is bringing many male visitors and some aren’t wearing masks but they because there are many, they believe he’s prostituting himself and, there’s noise coming from the apartment at night. My mom who is a devout Christian asked that he moves out once the neighbors complained to her. She’s also been complaining for the past two years how first he was and every time she talks to him, he just says sorry and doesn’t change. She feels like he doesn’t mind because he’s my friend. Worse still, she has been complaining about how filthy dirty he is. He never helps clean, his room stinks because he takes ages to do laundry and his blinds have collected dust, he uses some of her food. When he is with me, he’s nice, funny and he also helps her deposit the rent checks. The issue was when I told my guy friend, he said the neighbors are blatantly exaggerating and that he’s only had 3 friends over, one whom he’s dating. He says that the neighbors and my mom are bigots because he’s into drag. He believes they’re just discriminating against him cause he is gay, and cross dresses. Now 2 years ago, the neighbors complained about him saying that they hear sex noises late at night in the laundry room but when I asked, he said he was doing laundry and drying metallic belts and said it was false. We really don’t know whether the claims about him being a prostitute are true but I helped him get a job and he lost it and wasn’t working but he would always secretly leave Fridays and come back Tuesdays with female gear, wigs, heels, makeup and still have money but it’s not our business in that aspect. It’s just I’ve always confided in him but he always had this secret side to him he never shared but it wasn’t my place.

My challenge is my mom has been frustrated because he leaves his intimates like dildos, things lying around but in his room and she feels uncomfortable (they share a dresser hence her going to his room). He also never contributes to the household as a roommate. Instead he uses his money to shop clothes, things for himself and never buys anything for the house. He uses the sheets, towels, blankets, kitchen items, all my former belongings at the house and never buys anything. Anyways, my friends noted that if I don’t exist him, the landlord will evict me and my mom won’t have a place. Do you think it’s discrimination to have him leave based on the other tenants complaints? My mom also says she can’t stay with him and if he doesn’t leave, at some point she will find her own place. My friend also has bad credit so I was feeling bad for him but I found out from another friend, he’s saved up over $12k from staying at my place which has cheap rent. I was soo mad because I couldn’t believe he never helped around the house but had all that money!
My other issue is that my husband asked me to remove my name from that apartment because it’s already on our house where we live. He said if anything happened, his credit would be affected. I asked the landlord if I can’t transfer the lease to my mom’s names and he didn’t respond.

I have also spoken to my friend before and just asked him not do things that bring attention because he once passed out and was sleeping in front of my apartment dressed as a woman and the neighbors were worried cause he wouldn’t wake up, they called 911 and paramedics and when they asked him who he was, he gave them a lady’s name and when they told the landlord, he called me concerned thinking I was subletting the place to a woman which I’m not supposed to. How would you handle this situation?
UPDATE: I actually asked the landlord if there’s any proof from the tenants about my friend’s behavior and he sent me this text.
