We didnt have a lease he agreed to pay 250 rent and half utilities and food. Has not paid anything for month of may and it's now June. How do I get him out this is my house
A: You must file a Detainer Warrant on him in General Sessions. Service on him or posting is notice to quit. Just ask for possession. This is only if you intend to live there as you are not the owner. You tell the Court you are a lessee and he is a sub-lessee. If not out in ten days, you must ask Court to issue and execute a Writ of Possession. Do not get in a fight or he will get you arrested and have leverage on you. But probably the best thing is to simply move out since you have no lease.
