Q: My lease says no extra occupants, I can't get extra guests to leave... what do I do
Back in November my husband and I allowed my kids dad to move in for a "couple months" next thing we know he moved his GF and her son in too, which took us up to 8 people in our 3 bedroom home. We live in an MPH in Noble county. We rent. Our lease doesn't have anyone on it besides my husband my daughter and I on it. I have told this man to get out of my house multiple times and he refuses to leave. Tells me to evict him. He isn't on my lease, we are over occupancy and I have no idea what to do. Now he quit his job, and has literally forced my husband and i into supporting him and his family of 5. They use our only vehicle to go where ever they want when ever they want and neither of them are legally licensed, they just up and leave their kids with us never even ask just leave, even now as I type this I'm sitting here with their youngest child as they left without asking me to watch their kid and took my truck. They all share a bedroom. I need them gone.
A: They've been there so long they are considered legal residents. You have to evict them if you want them gone. If you don't you risk your landlord evicting you and them since you are breaking your lease agreement.
