1. I have a relative who would like to know where your roommate got his certification, since my relative is just a garden variety bum and thinks that a certificate might help him get government payments of some sort.
2. All joking aside, you may have to go to the local housing court and get an order of eviction. It's not complicated, but it takes about a month. Usually there is a hearing to determine whether or not the tenant should be evicted. Your roommate can either show up and give cause as to why he should stay, or skip housing court altogether, in which case he will likely be automatically evicted. When the bailiffs come to put your roommate's stuff on the lawn, he may believe that you weren't kidding about paying the rent.
3. You may not want to do anything that drastic, but the fact remains, you are going to have to talk to him about paying up or moving out. If he won't listen to reason or hold up his end of the bargain after you spell it all out for him, see step 2.

Okay, you are obviously the responsible one here, right? But this friend is one of those "fun to hang out with" types, but not room mate material. To take it back to the "buddy that you hang out with" and that's all without hurting his feelings by "throwing him out" (such a harsh term, yet appropriate) you have to come up with a reason that you have no control over. Example: (you) "hey, man, I got an unbelievable ultimatum from my boss at work today." (him) "What does ultimatum mean?" No, no, no, just kidding... anyway (him) "What is it?" (you) "Well, it seems as though he has this nephew/brother/cousin, etc... who has just gone through a bad divorce, his wife has taken everything, his car, his home, it's a terrible situation for the poor guy and he has told me that I should be expecting him to move in for a while at the first of the month. He's my boss, there's really nothing I can do about it. I could lose my job if I hadn't told him that it would be okay. I mean, I can't just tell him no. It is supposed to be temporary, you know, 5 or 6 months maximum. Then you are welcome to move back in when he finds a place to live. He has custody of a 2 year old and a 5 year old every other weekend. I dread all of this change of my living arrangements, but I have no choice." (him) "Bummer, wow, well I guess I could see if Carl (or whoever) can let me crash over there till all this is over." (you) "I hate it, but I guess so, if not him, you probably have alot of friends that would let you stay with them under the circumstances." Anyway, remove the blame from yourself. If you go with the new room mate story, create your own scenario if that example doesn't work, and he drops by to find that you have no room mate, tell him that there was a delay of some kind, but he is supposed to call you in a day or two and let you know what time he is giong to be there. Then, maybe you can save the friendship that you probably had with the roommate before you became roommates. If you want to be friends, or just avoid a problem, a good, necessary lie can be the only way to go.

You are going to have to sit him down and have a very STERN conversation with him about "responsibility", bills and your overall discontentment on the matter. Many times when it's a friend, we are passive wayyyyyyyyyyy to long and give off the vibe that we are okay with situations that are really about to drive us freakin nuts! So, I bet you money that he has no idea that you really have an issue with him.
Therefore, come clean, put all the cards on the table and give him options regarding staying, paying on time, helping clean up or whatever; or he can leave. Oh! And you have to put that, "I would rather stay friends, then fall out over a silly bill or rent" twist on it. You can't come off rude, because then you make it appear that you're just being an ***!

lmao Tell him that your religious beliefs do not permit you to live with him and you must find another roommate to share in your righteous lifestyle. Say it very seriously. Hopefully he'll believe you and leave.

Start bringing home new room mates to interview while he's there. Ask when you can show his room, etc.

You need to check his *** on it, and if he doesn't like it go to the landlord. Then contact police. or you can move out yourself. leave him to rot in his own disgustingness...take care.
