Lodger vs Tenant Rights

I own a home and rent out a room to a roommate, thus a Lodger. We have no formal rental agreement or lease agreement. The tenant has fallen behind on paying rent and I would like to ask them to move out this weekend as they are unable to pay.

Do they infact have the same rights as a tenant? Do I need to file a 3 day Eviction notice? As the homeowner, this tenant has become hostile and I am very uncomfortable living and sharing the house.

Any advise you can offer would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
 
Check the landlord/tenant laws of your state to see what it says about informal agreements and, if you feel that you need further assistance, consult with an attorney. Good Luck!
