Evicting Unwanted House Guests

Summary

If someone is living in your house and you want them to leave, the process depends on their status as a tenant or guest. For a tenant, a formal eviction process is required, including providing written notice and possibly filing for eviction in court. If the person is abusive, you can seek a protective order for immediate removal. This involves contacting law enforcement and applying for a protective order at your local court. The court can issue a temporary order to remove the individual from your home. Consider consulting with a local attorney for personalized advice.
