He is not on my lease but pays half the rent. However there is no proof he pays since he does not have receipts He states that he is considered a resident in my apartment because he now receives mail at this address. I plan to change the locks but he says that he can enter into the apartment regardless because the police can force me to let him in.

If he is not on the lease he is SOL.

Yeah well doesn't he realize that he really has no proof that he pays the rent w/o those receipts and that his name isn't anywhere on the lease? The police will laugh at him when he tries to explain that one without the proof and he'll be the talk of the police station as they'll have the other officers rolling with laughter at him.

In Washington State, If he has belongings still in your possesion, yes. Call and ask him over if he does. Have any last thing down to a toothbrush waiting for him at the door. If he paid this months rent, pay him back for days remaining. Call your local police office and find out what the time duration is. I could not get rid of my former renters belongings for 6 months. He was a former friend of the family that I had living with me... He didn't even pay rent. But being as i was in possesion of his belongings, it gave him certain rights when he was taken to the mental hospital.
When Mail comes in, promptly return to sender, no longer at this address. Inform your ex you will no longer accept his mail at that address.
GOOD LUCK!

tricky...... check with your state and local laws... library or here on line would prob. be of some help.... make sure roomie leaves with all his stuff and has NO reason to reenter the apartment.... make sure you inform land lord of his removal and that you have witnesses when you tell him he is out of there and why..... make sure whoever is around is suitible and reliable and not in any trouble with the law them selves.... make sure you give reasonable notice of eviction, say 2 weeks, a judge will not tolerate you kicking some one out if they have lived with and helped pay the bills , even with no proof..... think about it.... would you live with some one and not pay bills ?? so think before you act and do it right as to save urself the grief of being hauled into small claims court........ God bless

If he gets mail at the place, he is considered a resident by law...

as long as he is receiving mail there it is his legal residence and you can go to jail if you change the locks you will have to give him a formal eviction or have the landlord do it

if he pays half the rent.... why does he? it all depends on that. getting mail means nothing. i can get mail sent to your place, doesnt mean anything.
