Tampa, FL asked in Landlord - Tenant for Florida

Q: What are my rights

I live with a ex boyfriend that’s letting me stay here till I’m able to get my own place.. But he brings up past and keeps busting in my room and won’t leave me alone and keeps telling me to leave and I’ve been here almost a month.. There’s no written agreement I told him to file a unlawful detainer, cause I know my rights some what but I can’t take the yelling and invading my space and he does not understand that even tho this is is house he can’t touch nothing in my room and I ask to leave me alone. I don’t want police involve but if I have to I will.. what should I do?

A: Unless he has hit you, or threatened you with physical violence, the police won't be able to do much for you. It's not a crime to yell at someone. If you want him to stop, you probably need to demonstrate to him that you are moving with lightening speed to find a place of your own.
