    Ok, Lisa is a lawyer in NJ, so what she is saying about the law, while generally applicable, you can bet its 100&#37; accurate for NJ. As both excon and Lisa said, by letting him into your home and allowing him to establish residency, he has become your tenant in the eyes of the law. Since isn't May 30th yet. Prepare a written letter signed by all persons on the lease, stating that he needs to vacate the premises on or before June 30th or face eviction. Hand it to him (keep a copy) in front of a witness.

    Have you been paying attention? This is the Real Estate LAW forum. Advice given here needs to conform to actual statute. And statute, in this case, is that he is a resident and needs to be formally evicted.

    Hello again:

    Unless the cops stopped off at the doughnut shoppe again, they're on the way. The eviction, legal or not, is underway.

    That will make a really good law suit, not only can he sue the person evicting him, he can now sue the police officers personally, and the police department. Depending on how physcial the eviction was he may end up owning the house.
