Question
I have been living with this guy for 7 years,the past 3 have been horrible. All he does is drink and do coke. How can I get rid of him. The house is mine his name doesn't appear on anything related to the house. I am so tired of footing all the bills plus he steals. I know get rid of him but how?
Just tell him to leave. has he been paying any rent at all? If not you may need to consult a lawyer to make sure he does not have any squatters rights to the property.
unfortunately I cannot help with the legal side of things.
If worst comes to worst arrange to have the locks changed while he is out and pack his things up for him.
Sorry to hear you're in this situation.
