contact your local sheriff,and ask about starting the eviction process. Depending on what state you live in it may be impossible to have them removed until spring

Contact the local HUD, Housing Urban Development, in your area to get the proper procedures on how to evict a tenant living in your home.
Even though they are not paying rent and you do not have a lease agreement with them, you still have to follow eviction procedures. By law if someone is residing in a home for more than 14 days, they are now considered a resident of that home. This is why apartments only allow a guest to stay with a resident for that time.
You can get eviction papers at stores like Office Depot. What you need to do is when you do give the eviction to this individual you need to mail the letter to them and certify it so that they will have to sign for the letter. This will show that they received the letter. Make sure that when you do mail and certify it to them that it will be on a day that they will be home. You could also hire a courier service to deliver it to them as well; the cost is a little more.
Contact the Tenants Union in your state as well so that you can receive info on rights for tenants.

It is the same as with renters, except they will not owe you any money when it is over. As they are there long enough to become legal residents (2 weeks) they are evicted. They are the same as any other tenant, just monthly rent is $0. Since they will not owe any money you can't evict for non-payment, so you start with a written 30 day notice to vacate.

You need to follow the proper procedure for evicting a tenant in your area. It may involve a notice before filing and it may not. Find out the law in your area and follow it.
I am always amazed by the advice to pull a fast one that is given here. If you want to get sued and/or arrested, go ahead and a) lock them and out their stuff out or b) lie to the police and say they are "trespassing". Make sure you have enough cash for bail on you because they don't take checks. Have a good lawyer lined up and cash in your 401k so you will be able to afford to pay off the judgment and not get a lien on your house.

Verbal or not , which is stupid by the way, I am a former Apt. manager and I own rental property now. Never without a lease. Never! But now that you have go to your courthouse and ask them what the procedure is. Ask for it in writing. Every county is different. If there is no lease, you are ok at this point becasue he has absolutly no rights to be there. This is actually trespassing. If he has no paperwork, reciept or anything you can call the police and tell them what is going on and let them tell you what the law says. Get on it now and don't let any time go by. The next time get a landlord reference, a deposit and a lease that you both sign. My e-mail ia missmarymrpete@yahoo.com if you need to talk. good luck.

Talk to the person, make sure you bring up he/she is overdue. Whatever excuse it is, don't okay it - but have a conscious at the same time.
Give the person an extra week, or two weeks to at least get back on paying track, after that then he/she can start paying back what he/she owes you.
If this doesn't work then let him/her know that he/she will be leaving by x date. What will happen if he/she refuses to leave? Call the police. And retrieve keys from the renter.

If you don't have it in writing, this person could lie in court and you could lose. Never do it verbally. Have this in writing. If you feel like this person wouldn't pursue anything in court , tell them to leave. Or give him or her a statement to sign stating that this is the second warning, pay in 5 days or get out. Then you are safe.

I take it this is an illegal apartment. You have to be careful because your tenant can get you in trouble for this and you will be fined. You should insist the tenant leave and do not make a scene or you will be the one who will have to pay in the end.

Make it a written agreement. If they cannot pay you for the current week, they must move out. Otherwise, you need to check with the local law enforcement to see how to go about eviction. You might have to charge them with trespassing.
