    How do I get my ex boyfriend to leave my apartment if he isn't on my lease
    I am very nervous and don't know how to handle the situation Im in. I met a man several years ago when I was separating from a 18 year marriage. The guy seemed nice (I was distracted with my own problems to notice his true self). Since then he has done horrible things mental, physically to me. At this point & time I have a apartment with just me and my 17 year old son on the lease in Jax FL, I work 2 jobs and Im hardly home. My ex boyfriend has been staying with me and I let him get his food stamps at my address recently so now the other night I came home after working 12 hours and he was drunk calling me really foul names in front of my son and telling me he isn't going to leave my apartment cause he can show mail in his name and he isn't going to pay anything (not that he ever would cause he doesn't work and he collects a mental disability check). My son is scared and so am I, he makes horrible threats of hurting us. Oh and over these several years Ive known him he has been arrested twice for abuse on me but during thecourt process somehow convinced me to not follow up and show up for court against him so the charges got dropped. He appartently has lived this way according to his family that recently contacted my to warn me he is a professional con man, he finds women that are vanrable and pretends to like them and talks them into letting him get a piece of mail at their home then he goes for the swatting.

    If he's been there more than 2 months... you HAVE to have him evicted... he's a legal resident.. It doesn't matter if he is on the lease or not... or even if he has paid a single dime in rent.

    You have to follow the legally prescribed eviction process for the state you reside. Have him served for eviction in writing... do not do this verbally or simply leave a note... have it sent so he signs for it or have a process server do it... you need to prove when he got it. Fl the notice is two weeks... and if he doesn't leave in two weeks... you have to go to court to have the eviction enforced... when you win the SHerriffs will put him and his stuff out and only THEN can locks be changed (on a leased property that usually means by the property owner.


    THe fact you failed to follow through previously is upon you... you made that decision on your own. Nobody made you.

    If he threatens either of you again.. call the poilice and follow through. Do not hesitate.
