So my fiance, lets call him Brian, and I have been living with my room mate, lets call her Ashley, for two years at our apartment.  My fiance and I have been together for 6 years (soon to be seven).  Were tired of having Ashley live with us.  Ashley doesn't do much around the apartment.  She doesn't cook or clean.  She also doesn't pay for gas, electric, or groceries.   The only thing she usually pays for is rent (she still owes me money from last year for rent.)  She also owes my fiance about a grand from a trip we took about three years ago.  

Anyways, Ashley is in her sixth year for her bachelors at college (she failed a bunch of classes) and she just found out her mom has brain cancer. Brian and I want her out of the apartment because it cost us more money to have her here and we just want our own space.  But Ashley tends to have "flip outs" when told something she doesn't like . We were just wondering if anyone had any suggestions for how Brian and I can tell Ashley we don't want her living here.  We want to keep our friendship with Ashley (shes been our friend for 5 years.) but her living here is very draining.  

I'm tired of picking up after Ashley and taking care of her animals. Our lease is up in May but Brian and I want to keep the apartment.   Sorry for the wall of text.  Any advice would be great.  

Ashley is currently on the lease but my fiance and I don't want her re signing the lease with us this May.   Ashley can't really go back home because her parents might be losing their house soon and she doesn't have any friends up here to live with.
