This flat mate used to be a boyfriend. We are no longer together, but he still lives with me. He refuses to leave and it is time to get intervention. I am just unsure of the procedure, what to do? I have never been in this situation before.

As I said... he was my boyfriend. I have broken up with him. He refuses to leave. I own the place. He hasn't signed a thing.

A written eviction notice should be enough to force him to get out within 30 days. You may need to check the laws where you live.

What's the basis of the agreement? Do you own or rent? If you own, does he own it with you? Do you have a lease with his name on it anywhere?
Without more detail it's difficult to give good advice. If you are the owner of the property, and there is no lease, you can ask him to leave, and if he fails to comply, legally you can change the locks and leave his bags outside the door.
If he has paid rent, you can't do that; he has a tenancy, even without a written lease, and you'll have to apply for an eviction notice, which takes 30 days from the time you give it to him.
If you are both on the lease, and it is a rented apartment, you will have to discuss options with the landlord.

Everyone Before Me Told You About The Procedure, But I Have One Thing To Say...Once You Take Legal Action And He's Evicted He Will Be Mad About It!!! So Make Sure If He Has Any Access To Your Place (Keys, Etc.) Make Sure You Confiscate It~

Who's name is on the lease? Yours or his, or both? Call the landlord and discuss it with him/her. If you own it, call the police and have him evicted. Wait till he is out and throw his things out in the front yard and change the locks. If he pays the rent, you move out. If you pay the rent you have the rights, if he does he has the rights. Who lived there first? If it was you, throw his stuff out and change the locks, but make sure that you pay him for any outstanding rent money. Do it with a check so you have proof.

attempt a small claims court docket. Use your bill statements and fiscal corporation account statements to coach that the money spent to pay the charges got here out of your charges. Then, in case you do not already have it now, make effective your landlord contains your flatmate's call on the subsequent lease, making him/her legally and both responsible for prices pertaining to to the cost of protecting the utilities on the flat.

If his name is not on the lease, it's up to you to show him the door. You can file trespassing charges if he's just there without a lease.

If he's been there for over 30 days, then you have to have him evicted.
Personally, I would change the locks (it's very simple to do it yourself).
