Go to your landlord and explain the situation. Your landlord can do the eviction but you may need to pay for the costs. You MUST get the poilce involved if he is breaking your belongings even if it means going to a neighbors home to make the call. You do not sound safe. good luck to you.

Did he move in at the same time and was the Landlord aware of it? If you have a lease, even if its in your name, check and see if it says how many people are living there. If it says 2, then he is also a tenant.
If you are being abused and threatened, you must go to the police. File a protection order and charges against him. Once you have that protection order, give a copy to your landlord. Let him know that if the BF shows up again, it will be a violation against the order. The landlord can then also file against the BF for tresspassing. Keep in mind that if the BF retaliates by doing damage to the LL's property, YOU are responsible for the damages, as your BF is concidered a long term guest.
Keep your landlord up to date on what is happening, as, if the police are called to your residence more than twice, even though you are the victim, he can "clean house". In other words he can evict you.
No, you are not your boyfriends landlord. You allowed him in, and if he receives mail there or has been there longer than a month, he is concidered a tenant of your landlord. If the landlord had no knowledge of your BF living there, then you are probably in violation of the lease, and the LL can evict you both. If the LL does know he was there, the LL can evict him if there is sufficient proof. In this case, a BF/GF fight is heresay without a police report. He cannot just take your word for it.

You can speak to the landlord and they can evict him, or go to the police directly. Either way, this is not safe. You will probably need to file a restraining order on him to if he is threatening you and breaking your stuff. You might want to go to the landlord's office and talk to them and maybe even call the police from there if you cannot get to the station. Or ask a trusted neighbor if you can use their phone. You could get that man arrested for what he's done already, I would suggest you do it, because the next time it might be you he destroys.
Good Luck! I hope this has helped.

since tenancy laws vary from state to state as well as country to country, it would be nice if you included where the property in question is located. in most states in the u.s. you have to file in court a summery ejectment(that is a request that all unpaid rents are due and payed upon the judges order). at the end of their lease, if the landloard wishes not to renew the lease, the landlord files the same and asks the court that the lease has expired and that the landlord will not seek another lease agreement with current tenants.after landlord prevails with summery ejectment, the tenant has the right to remove all personal property and to return the property to the original to it's apperance as it was when first occupied by tenant, other than normal wear and tear. landlord has no right to enter such dwelling except in cause if there is a known or percieved problem that may cause damage that can be prevented to dwelling that access is needed. when papers are served for eviction, the doors are locked out to the tenent and has to make arraingements with the landlord to remove any personal belongings the tenant may have in the dwelling within a specified time. if there are damages to the unit that are above and beyound normal wear and tear the landlord must file civil suit against ex- tenant to recover losses. in other words, never, ever enter a unit until you have the law supporting you. entering that unit puts you at a severe risk, such as "i had a 60 inch wide screen t.v. that dissappered,etc. it also appears that you need to work on your lease agreements to make sure that you are only allowing quality people into yor units

Go to the police and file for a restraining order. He is obviously abusive and you must leave if he will not. You should also consult a lawyer about getting him out of your place, once you have gone to a safe place.

file a police report against him for battery, file a restraining order against him for 100 yards and that will put him out of the house if granted; file an unlawful detainer action against him for non-payment of rents and a small claims action against him for monies due you for past rents and awards by the court.
In your Court action against him and whatever the Court awards you, you add that along with all costs including your time documented and persuade the Judge to render Judgment in your favor.
Outside of that if you don't become aggressive, he will continue to hound & hurt you.

Go to work, then call the ploice. And don't go back until the ploice removes him. And tell your landlord. Maybe they could evict him for you.
