Q: My brother moved in to my home with out my permission and refuses to leave. How do I get him out quickly?
A:
two options- call the police and ask them to remove ( or arrest) the individual for trespassing ( if you haven't already done so, before calling the police, tell your brother of these intentions so he can't say he wasn't warned).
If that doesn't work, you have to file a "detainer warrant" - this is the process for eviction for renters who fail to pay their rent,etc. Technically speaking, he is not a renter, he is a guest, and you can kick guests out whenever you are ready for them to go, but oftentimes, the police don't/won't know the difference so they will just tell you to follow the eviction process to get them out. Again, before filing the eviction case, you should give him a written notice that your are terminating his occupancy of the premises.
