Depending upon the laws of your state, you need to start the eviction process. Give her x days to move out (in writing); then, if she does not move out, file a complaint against her in court.
Do not throw her things out, as she may have an action against you for doing so.
Contact an attorney for advise in an unlawful detainer action.
On the other hand, you could tip off the police as to her illegal activity, and have her placed in jail by showing the cops the evidence; then she will be in jail and out of your hair.
Good luck.

Ask her to leave , if she refuses you may have to do the eviction process , here where I live if you invite someone in your home and they refuse to leave you have to evict them they do not even have to spend the night ,but we have a 10 -15 day eviction process not 30 or more ...best thing is call the police to report "possible criminal activity" then they can arrest her. best thing to do is consult either a magistrate ,or find a lawyer that handles evictions they know first hand of the laws for your area, but definitely report the stolen property if you do not ,and she gets caught you could be an accessory before ,and after the fact , or she could put it in your house ,and say you done it ...then that is a whole different ball game

There really is no law that prevents you from throwing her out at will. God bless you for trying to do a good deed, but enough is enough. If you don't get rid of her, you may end up with charges of concealing stolen property and you don't even know what else she may have done. If you throw her out, it will be up to HER to call the cops and that ain't gonna happen. If it does, tell the cops why you threw her out. Your only problem is practical. How do you keep her out? I think I'd pack up her stuff and put it outside and spend the money necessary to re-key the locks.

She isn't paying rent and she has no signed lease. Tell her that you want her out, and set a time. Tell her too that if she isn't out
by then you will put her things outside. You have tried to be helpful, but there are some people that will only take advantage of
people like you. I also tried to help a girl that I went to grade school with, but hadn't seen in a few years. She showed up and I helped her get a job, which lasted 3 weeks. No job lasted long. I put up with her till my land lady told me to get rid of her. I told her to get packed that I was taking her back to her Grandmothers. I was so glad to go home alone after I took her back to her hometown. Good Luck to you!

I can honestly say I understand where you are coming from. I just had someone move out after living 2 months here with us. He caused nothing but trouble since he had moved in. He recently just got a job however his lying, being manipulative and unwilling to be more of a human being was enough. After bringing a kerosene heater into our basement using it because he was manipulating his cause to living in a cold basement, using the heater smelling the place up down there to where one could not stand it. In 2 months never gave us any money, used our bathroom, shower and frig. Got to a point I would not talk to him...he would lie and tell my husband things I never said. I got him out by letting him know he was not welcome here. He moved out today, with our keys in hand. Gonna get them back somehow. See I pity you because I have been down that road and know how you feel. I have learned from this experience to say no from now on.

Call the cops and tell them that this woman has stolen credit cards and other people's bank checks. Credit card fraud is a serious crime, $500 of useage is enough to clasify this as a felony in most states. As soon as the cops get wind of this they'll be knocking on your door looking for her. If she knows that you turned her in, your door is the last place she'll come knocking again!

Your in a little bit of a mess. I think your reluctant to call the police but think of the people she did the stealing from. Boy credit can be really messed up. She is probly counting on you not to do that. But you would be doing her a favor. Something has to be done and apparently it is in your hands. Do the right thing.

You can indeed evict her. Call the cops and have them remove her from the premises, along with all her belongings. I suggest you report the stolen check books, etc. as well.

get her stuff and her and throw all the trash out on the sidewalk or in the trashcan because if she's got stolen stuff in her luggage they can get u for before and after the fact so throw her out if she won't leave call the cops on her she'll have to leave then

There's no law against throwing out unwanted roomates, couples do it to eachother all the time.
Chuck her stuff out to front lawn and if she still tries to stay, call the police and tell them she's tresspassing.
You may even want to let them in on what theft she's guilty of.
