Q: I am evicting my ex girlfriend from my home. Can I remove my bedroom furniture from the rooms she is using?
A: Until she moves out of the property, you should not remove furniture from her room or from any room. You could be held liable for wrongful eviction if you do so.
A: She is a tenant and has most of the rights of a tenant. Be sure you are following proper eviction procedure: 30 days notice if there one year or less, 60 days of longer; file suit if she does not move out. If she does not move out voluntarily, you cannot take any action without a court judgment and order. Try to keep emotion out of your actions. You should consult an attorney.
