    Homeowner rights with a roommate
    I have rented out a room in my home. I wrote up a short agreement for myself and the renter. He is taking my things and telling me after the fact and not sticking to the agreed time to pay rent. What are my rights?

    If he takes your things, simply call the police and prosecue for theft.

    If he does not pay rent, go through a formal eviction process and get him out of there.

    Hello kodi:

    Your rights are enumerated in your states landlord/tenant law. We have a copy right here for your perusal at the top of the page on a "sticky note".
