Unauthorized House Guests

Summary

In Kentucky, you have the right to exclude unauthorized individuals from your property and can issue a formal trespass warning. The eviction process involves giving notice, filing an eviction lawsuit, a court hearing, and removal by a sheriff. A person becomes a tenant by entering into a rental agreement, either verbal or written, and paying rent. Eviction notice periods vary depending on the reason, with non-payment of rent usually requiring a 7-day notice and other situations typically requiring a 30-day notice. You cannot forcibly remove someone without following legal procedures. Consult a local attorney for personalized advice.
