Q: My ex is on my lease and is not paying for rent and moved out and won’t answer my calls or texts. What do I do?

I just want legal advice on how to evict him or make him pay half his share

More info is needed, and it should be shared with a real estate, not a criminal attorney.

chances are you will need a lawsuit in small claims court.
