We took in a friend in need 7 months. Ago with no request for rent. Once employed(4mos. Later) he insisted I come up with a figure to charge him. I declined ,but he was adamant so I told him to give me what my daughter gave me as her contribution to the house,$40.00 a week. We had no "lease' . he gave me a check for$160.00and called it rent for May. we had a falling out shortly after that and he began staying at another daughters house, only coming by in the wee hours of the morning when we were all asleep, to get clothes or whatever. i only found out he had been there by a friend seeing him leave early a few times. this seemed creepy to me,so i waited for him early one morning (he'd been at our daughter's 2 mos. already)and told him i didn't want him sneaking around while we slept and to get his stuff out.by the way he also left another check on my table for June. this was now July and i needed the space he'd been using for my parents impending visit. he refused to take his things so i gathered them up and put them on our enclosed porch. now he wants to sue us for"illegal eviction". Does he have grounds?

He doesn't have grounds but if he wants to sue he can.
Does not mean he will win.
You did not kick him out. He left.

What months did he pay and when did you put his "stuff" on the porch?

Hello b:

Yes. He was a tenant, and you needed to obtain a court order for eviction. Offer to settle it for $100. He'll probably take it... Get the settlement IN WRITING.
