Q: My partner doesn’t want to move out. What can I do?
My partner and I have been having issues.
He has been moving in and out for the last 10 months.
This time he said He was not going to move out. He said he had 30 days.
He hasn’t paid complete rent for this month.
Can I evict him for non payment?
I gave him, verbally, a 3 day to pay and a 30 day notice to vacate.
Because of how things have been in the past, I feel somewhat unsafe. He has never hit me but we’ve wrestle and I was left with bruises before due to that.
I just want him gone. Is there anything I can do to make the process faster?
Please, I don’t want that man in my house
A: First, verbal notices are not enforceable. Second, currently you cannot evict or even serve termination notices, for failure to pay rent during the covid crisis. That may change by July 1st. Also understand that if you accept partial payment of rent, you may be waiving your right to evict that month for failing to pay the balance. If it continues, you may want to review everything with a local landlord-tenant attorney. Otherwise, next time he moves out, don't let him back in.
