    Boyfriend Eviction
    Me and my boyfrieend were separated for about five months and then we got back together and only been together since January and we never set an amount for him to pay and all I have gotten is 85 dollars from him since then and our relationship has going to bad and I just want him to go. Can I just write up a notice and make him leave or what. I want him gone and I can't take the stress no more. Please help.

    Assuming you are the owner or leaseholder then you are his landlord. Without an agreement of how much he would pay you have to give him a written notice of termination of tenancy. The amount of time to give him depends on your area. ANY question on law needs to include your general locale as laws vary by area.

    If boyfriend on the lease or rental agreement, if so, you can not just evict him.

    But you will have to give him notice, and if he does not move out, file for a eviction in housing court in your area.

    I have a friend dealing with this same issue right now, and it isn't good. Since she gave her boyfriend a key and he gets his mail there, she can't kick him out. She has hired a lawyer and she is having to press charges to get him out. He is making it really hard on her, and she has to keep all of her stuff locked up. You may want to talk to a lawyer because different states may have different rules on this.

    Good luck.

    Please - this is a legal board. Continuing to advise people to "talk to a lawyer" isn't really helpful.

    With or without a key if someone is a resident they HAVE to be evicted - and what residency entails varies by State.

    What State? It varies by State (obviously).

    The questions which have been asked need to be answered in order for a correct answer to be given.

    See and this is why they need to get legal counseling because you are wrong. For an eviction to occur you have to go through the courts and have it mandated. Once again it is based on the state and she wants to do it the right way, which means she should get "real legal" counseling.

    What part of my statement is wrong? A person who is a resident has to be evicted. Eviction Court is user friendly. You do not need an Attorney to do "it" the "right way."

    Again - what did I advise that caused you to say "... because you are wrong"?

    Nope, Judy is not wrong and we all have a story about a friend. Second hand info has no place in advising a OP. From what the OP has said the BF is a resident and can/will be evicted if he is not on the lease. He can be a resident but not a lessee so the OP must give notice. This is not done in the courts but can eventually get to court if BF doesn't leave and the end of the notice. I am no lawyer but all my stories are from my own experiences with tenants and courts.

    Press charges for what? You don't press charges for an eviction. So there is probably more to that story than you know or are telling. And therefore may not apply to the OP. You are correct that an eviction is a court process, but Judy never said anything different so I don't see where you can say she was wrong about anything.
