If I told someone I wanted them out of my house...?

well give him notice, to leave in writing and a date to leave, if nothing happens then a a lawyers advice is necessary, your entitled to one hour of free consultation see what the lawyer says, what your not entitled to do is go into his room and move his belongings you need some court order legal notice served, so see a lawyer.

Thanks for clarifying the baby mama thing. Congrats to both of you.

So he's refused to leave, or just reluctant? I'd give him a time limit. Joe, we need you to find someplace else to stay by the 31st.

My parents had this problem once.

They put the "guest's" belongings on the front lawn while he was out, and changed the locks.

Depends. If they are listed on a utility bill or have changed their address on documents to reflect that, you may have a fight on your hands.

Absent that, best case, you call the police and have the trespassers removed. Worst case you work thru the state eviction process

raichasays

It is not that simple. In the US, depending on the relationship you have between you and any agreements between you, you may have to formally evict them.

See a lawyer.

Give me your number, i'll get them out for you.

You could wait until they are out and then change the locks etc. And call the cops if they tried to break in!

you can call the police and get them to remove the person

It does not work like that in the UK.
You will need to obtain a Court Order to evict someone who has been allowed to live there previously. Or you will need to persuade him to leave of his own accord..

Even if their name isn't on anything you still need to give them notice (if you want to do things legally), just put it in writing that you want them out and what dated they need to vacate, if they still don't leave you need to get an N5 and N130 form from the council (UK) and fill these in and then the courts will be involved in removing the person from your property.

well if its your land so their tresspassing so if they refuse to leave call the police and they legaly have to remove the person

thylawyer

If the person has been staying in your house with your permission, merely telling them to leave will not work. You have created at least a tenancy at sufferance, if not an at-will tenancy. That means a written notice to quit as required by your state laws, and if they fail to move out, you will probably have to take them to court to evict them. You will get a judgment and then an execution that has to be served by a duly authorized person. Then you can move them out, following any state rules regarding property storage.

laughter_every_day

If they have been paying rent, by cash or by chores or any other way, then they may have become a tenant and if they are not willing to go then you must follow eviction procedures. Ownership doesn't change that. When one rents an apartment, the owner must still follow procedures to evict someone. All this is different if the person being ejected is a spouse or child.

Grow a set and toss them out on their ear.
Sounds like you are afraid of the punk.

pomegranatepants

if they refuse to leave, call the cops. they will force them to leave. it's YOUR house.

kim

unless they assaulted you, you would have to get an eviction notice and give them 30 days to find a new residence.

news hound

if the details you post are as accurate, as you say this person can be removed by the police, =contact them for help urgently=.

xJellybeansx

You can call the police and have them removed from your house if they refuse

crib_wizzard

check with the local police or sheriff. Laws in different area may not be the same.

Ray

call the police or take them to the court.

That would depend upon who it was. If you were trying to remove your spouse from the matrimonial home then you have problems. If it's just a lodger,then you can get rid when you like but be nice and give a bit of notice eh..................

It depends on the situation. If they are "staying there" as in that is where they are living; then its not a simple as having the police come and tell them to leave. (that only applies if they visited or just appeared on your property)

If they have any ID or bills in their name with your address, then most likely the state is going to say that they live there and are not trespassing. this means you would have to go through the proper eviction process for your state.

You can google that info, or call your local government on where you can obtain more information on how to do it. In most cases its a lengthy detailed process that can take months.

If after you have completed all steps and the person still refuses to leave, the courts may order the sheriff to remove the person from the property. But only after the court are convinced you followed all the steps.

But I know an easier route......

PAY the person to leave. Offer them $500 or $1000 to get out by the end of the week. Give a date and time that if they aren't out by then, the offer is off the table. This is perfectly legal, and in a lot of cases the person will jump at the case of free money and leave without a problem.

Make sure you follow through and pay them though. Issue a check so that you can prove you paid if needed. If they left and you don't pay them, you are looking at some major legal ramifications. That's a hassel you don't need.

I hope that helps.

If the person is living in your home you have to evict them. The law varies depending on where you live, and you can always make them go (if it takes your local sheriff to do it) but there is a process you need to follow.

You can't just kick someone out even if you own the property.

EDIT: It sounds like the young man you have living with you would qualify as a tenant. You will need to contact a lawyer to find out the eviction process where you live.

I HATE CHIPS AND PASTA

Yh just call the police.

R M

is this in uk, if they pay rent or bills they can refuse to go as sitting tenents, if there is no formal or financial agreement then they may claim squatters rights, the best thing would be to approach them in a freindly way and offer a realistic timescale for them to find somewhere else (3-6 months), keep it freindly and helpfull, last resort would be to change the lock when they are out and leave their belongings somewhere safe, then as the owner you can call police if they try to force entry. hope this helps

bazspur3

unless it's your baby's mother they have no legal right's at all. stat calm and tell them you want them out in 48 hours or you will call the police and ask them to be removed from your home if you have any doubts call the police and ask them where you stand.

Fluke

Not sure of the legalities but if it were me, I'd give them a week to leave & if they didn't - I'd wait until they went out, go in & put all of their stuff outside & change the locks. You're not going to get done for that if the house is in your name.
