[QUOTE="mrsammler, post: 513231"] He's 19. Serve him eviction papers tomorrow. Give him whatever is required of landlords by the state--probably 30 days. If you want him out NOW (and you should), go to a magistrate and explain your situation and ask what you can do to have him removed ASAP. He/she will advise you that you can swear out warrants for whatever crimes he has already committed against you or your property recently--theft, destruction of property, uttering threats, assault (which can be simply the clear/spoken threat of violence, with or without physical contact)--and then have him arrested, which gets him out of your house while the eviction clock is ticking. If all goes well regarding the timing of court dates (and often the police or court can help you regarding this, if they know your situation--i.e., that you need him out for 30 days), he can cool his heels in jail for the entire 30 days and then you can complete the eviction--i.e., remove his belongings and lock him out--and then drop the charges. I.e., use the charges and jail time to "eat" the 30 days in which he would otherwise make you miserable, steal from you, destroy property, etc. It's a sternly pragmatic way to get him out. It might seem heartless to those who aren't living with his mistreatment of you . But it gets the job done. [/QUOTE]
