in florida can i remove someone from my home if he is not on the lease?

Question

He keeps losing jobs, partying and disappearing for days

Answer 1

If a) He's not on the lease
and b) he's not a spouse or dependent in the eye of the law (you're not married with him, including common law marriage and other forms of civil union, he's not a minor child or invalid relative, that kind of stuff)

You could get away with changing the locks and giving him his stuff back the next time he shows up.

Better have him served with a restraining order at the same time, though... treating people that way has a tendency to get them P Oed.

Answer 2

Not familiar with Florida's laws, but in general, if he's not on the lease, he has no legal right to be inside your home without your consent (whether you rent or own). One exception, however, might be if he is your legal or common law spouse, or your child under the age 18. If he's your spouse or minor child, check your lease or Florida's laws to see what they say about that.

If he's neither, and if he refused to leave when you asked him to, he would be trespassing. And if he is trespassing, and won't leave, you can call the police and have them remove him from the premises.

You may want to call the police in advance, if you think violence will occur when you tell him to leave.

Answer 3

Get a restraining order.

Call the police to remove him.

Move his things out when he is not there and change your locks.

Answer 4

I don't see why not, just tell him he has so many days to get his stuff out and then change the locks..

Answer 5

You can boot him out at any time if there's no contract allowing him to be there.

Answer 6

i would say yes! dump time!!!!!
