how to gate out our tenant from our own house?

Answer 1

With all due respect answer 1 makes a good point.

I've often been a landlord,,,never again hopefully; but your question doesn't explain a need/situation; which is none of our business; or the method you have in mind.

Your house or not; you cannot deny normal access to a Tenants agreed upon rental area. In most states you also have no LEGAL right to access their unit without permission or knowledge.

To have a tenant access your area, certainly might be the case in a situation of a shared kitchen or bath; but you have rights too. If they have no such agreements, written or verbal; to enter your area; then certainly you can KEEP THEM from having access.

There is another, deeper issue as well...EVICTION. An also difficult process.

Re-state the Q; perhaps our confusion can be cleared.

Answer 2

I think you've rented out a room. I've never done that, but I have neighbors whom I told to go home and never come back, then locked up everything in sight.

I did once live in an upstairs apartment that shared the front door with the landlady. Her apartment was shut off with locked doors. Mine just went upstairs from the foryer, and the head of the stairs was open. To get to the attic she had to go through my apaprtment. Seemed she had to go to the attic most any time I wasn't home. She inspected, then left notes on my stationery, used my stamps and yelled at me when I got home for my lousy housekeeping. I escaped, leaving her a spotless apartment, so she could invade somebody else' privacy. If that's the case, you'll just have to find a way to evict them.

I also knew a couple who rented an apartment upstairs in a private home, shared the bathroom with the owners, and had to go through the owner's living room to get to the stairs. They all got along just fine.

I own property that could be rented. I don't think there's enough money in the world to rent out anything. My granddaughter's living there now, and I'm going to have to evict her. She agreed in writing to pay a nominal rent that just covers the insurance and taxes, hasn't paid her rent in 3 months, and I had to call the City to make her take her garbage to the curb. 2 months worth of soiled diapers were just too much.

Answer 3

If you've rented out a room then under Michigan law you've "invited: the person in and, you can't throw him out with police protection. You'll have to see an attorney and get an eviction order and I'm afraid that's going to cost you.
If your in a Northern state you'd better hurry, there's a limit as to when you can evict a person for the winter, it's sometimes about now, then you'll have to wait until next spring so, hurry.

Please add more to your question, its hard to answer when you aren't real clear on what you are asking.
