Q: I live in Obion County Tennessee. I have a live in girlfriend that wont stop screwing around on me. How do I evict her?
I asked her to leave and she refuses. She threatened to shoot me if I evict her. She then threatened to burn my house down. Also stating she could hide my body for a year before anyone asked about me. By then the cops will have more important things to do than worry about finding my body. She has pulled numerous knives on me at various times. She is constantly threatening to kill me in my sleep. In the year and a few months that she has been here, she has destroyed doors, broken windows, etc. She also continuously steals numerous personal items including but not limited to: My Windows tablet. Cell phones. SIM cards. SD Cards. Card readers. Etc. I could fill up 2 pages of this stuff. Shortly after I let her move in, less than a month, she started sleeping with other guys in my bed. She blind sided me in the face with a 22oz beer bottle a few months ago. This is a never ending battle and these are just a few things. How do I evict her? Please advise. Thank you
A: File a Detainer Warrant in General Sessions Court For Possession Only. It must be served or posted. Do not ask for rent money or costs. If she is not out within 10 days of the Judgment, hire a lawyer just to get a Writ of Possession issued and executed. Do not get in a fight, or she will get leverage.
