Please help I want my boyfriend out

[tammie9161]

I want my boyfriend out of my house. The house is in my name and all the bills are in my name. Originally, he moved in as a roommate and we developed a relationship. He has been living with me for the past two years however, thing have gone downhill since then. The relationship is very bad. I do not get along with his teenage children, as his son is verbally abusive. Can I legally call the police and have him escorted out. Please advise me what to do, I have two small children, and the atmosphere is terrible for both my children and me.

No you cant just throw him out. You must use your states means for tenant removal. Now unless there is a lease he is a month to month tenant. This means either party can change tenancy terms with proper notice. Write him a notice to vacate. The time frame should be within your states guidlines (normally 30 days) if he fails to leave by day 30 begin eviction process by filing in court

It all starts with an eviction notice.
You can give either a seven day or thirty day notice.
The choice depends on if the tenancy was month to month, or week to week.
As the deadbeat hasn't paid rent in a year or longer (I'm guessing), the seven day option might be more attractive and expedient!

NOTICE REQUIRED TO END A TENANCY OR RAISE THE RENT​

If the tenant rents month-to-month, either the tenant or landlord can end the tenancy by giving notice 30 days before the rent is due. If the tenant rents week-to-week, either the tenant or landlord can end the tenancy by giving a seven day notice before the rent is due. The landlord can increase the rent by following the same notice procedures.

If the tenant is under a written lease for a term greater than one month, the lease ends at the end date of the lease, unless the lease states the lease will continue. Rent cannot be raised during the term of the lease.

RIGHTS UNDER THE LAW
In addition to duties, the law guarantees tenants and landlords specific rights.

The tenant has the right to:
* join a tenant's union to bargain with the landlord.
* complain to a government agency about a landlord's possible violation of housing laws and regulations affecting health and safety.
* know the name and address of the owner of the property and his agent, if there is one. The information must be in the rental agreement or be given to the tenant when he/she moves in.
* receive at least three day's written notice before the landlord files an eviction in court.
* receive notice from the landlord when the landlord wishes to end the rental agreement or to raise the rent (see notice required to end the tenancy).

The landlord has the right to:
* evict a tenant who does not pay rent when due.
* evict a tenant who refuses to move after the end of the rental agreement.
* evict a tenant who does not perform duties in the rental agreement or required by state law.
* receive notice from a tenant when the tenant wants to end the rental agreement.
