I have been living with my boyfriend in his house for almost 5 yrs. We have not been getting along and he says he wants me to leave or he will have the cops escort me out. Does anyone know the laws on this in the State of New Hampshire?? My mom says that she doesnt think that he can just have me removed since we have been together so long???

Your mom would be completely incorrect. You should devote your focus to getting a game plan together to get out of that house so that you can do it in a calm fashion instead of some dramatic scene from a movie where the person throws the others belongings out the window. Besides, why would you want to stay somewhere that 1) you aren't wanted and 2) isn't yours?

I am sorry for the answer you just received from Lori she must be bitter!! Do you work? Have you been helping pay the bills? Do you help pay the house payment? If he wants you to move and it's his house than you will have to move. Question how long do u have??. One thing that I would for sure do is get my things outta there while u can. If the law is on his side u may be forced to leave asap! So I'm afraid you best consult an attorney right now or start packing fast!! I don't know the laws in your state but I hope that he has to give you some time to find a place but he may not. He must have some girl he is ready to move on in. I'm very sorry for your situation. I hope next time you will play it smarter and get things in writing!! What I personally would do is wait till he is gone and I would pack up all my things. Including half of the things that u purchased together. I would also take a video of the house before u get your things and than again after you get them adn also have a credible witness with you. Don't bust anything up!! Just get your things and go.

While you may have the right to make him go through the eviction process, in the end, you are going to have to leave. It is his house. He will be able to have you evicted.
You should tell him that you are looking for a new place to live, and do so.Apply to rent an apartment or a house. He most likely will allow you to stay for a couple of weeks, as long as he sees that you are seriously making an effort to get out.
Start packing today. Rent a mini-storage unit and move stuff into it daily. When he sees that you are leaving, and moving your stuff out, most likely the tension will be less between you two.
If it is over between you, there is no use prolonging the suffering!

Call a local eviction attorney and ask what the law says about unlawful eviction. In CA a person establishes rental rights after 30 days of tenancy If someone wants you out they have to serve with a 30 day notice. Your state might be different. GOOD LUCK

no he cant! He has to evict you now! Even if you are not on the lease, that is also your home. Eviction can be a long process which would give you plenty of time to prepare to move. I would reccomend getting out ASAP though cause who wants to be somewhere there not wanted with an @sshole that is threatening to kick you out! Good luck

does he own the house, or is the lease in only his name? If you are on a lease, then you have more of a case.
if it's his house, and was when you moved in, then he can have you removed.
I just wonder why you would even consider staying with a man who doesn't make you happy and doesn't want you around. I would have moved on long ago.

forget finding out about the law! I wouldnt want to stay or live with someone who doesnt want to be with me. Wait till that fool goes to work rent a uhaul and l have him come home to nonething. Girl, move in with your mom, she should be telling you to get the heck out of there not researching what the law requires!

The only way you would have any rights in this situation is if you had some sort of written lease. If you are just living in his house, there is probably nothing you can do about it. Think ahead next time.

You have no legal rights just because you have been playing house for 5 years. If you have signed the lease, he can't just kick you out, though.
Learn and next time don't move in with someone who isn't willing to commit to marrying you. Don't sell yourself so cheaply.
FYI - New Hampshire doesn't have a common law marriage statute. You are and always will just be a shack up there.
Sandi -- not bitter...happily married for 23 years and seen it all. Just because I don't sugar coat the truth doesn't mean it still isn't the truth. I know all you youngsters want to see everything as rosy, but you do so many foolish things and this is the biggest one. The kicker is that you do it over and over and over again. I've seen it all from the other end and I know that they are BIG MISTAKES. I know you wont listen when I am all sugar and spice -- perhaps at least ONE OF YOU might think about it if I'm blunt. It's doubtful, I know, but if I can save one stupid girl from making another stupid mistake, it's worth it. These guys don't care about you. IF they did, they'd make it legal. You are just a free and convenient outlet for sex until they find the girl that they DO WANT TO MARRY. SMARTEN UP!
I've said the same thing to both of my daughters. My oldest (23) refused to move in with her boyfriend....the wedding is next month. I hope the youngest (16) is just as smart.

No he can't. He has to go through eviction methods like landlords do. You have the same right to live there as he does. I'd suggest looking for a new place to live, doesn't sound like a situation to stick around with.
