Q: Can I switch out the locks when my ex-Girlfriend is staying with her new boyfriend and her stuff is still in my place?
This happen about few days ago. I own the house and we lived here for about a year and few months. without going into details, she decided she had enough and end up getting a new boyfriend and is currently staying there. she did commented that she was keeping the key because she needed to come for her own stuff at a later date. the only contribution she made to the household was food and a utility bill. Am i able to change the locks for safety concerns.
Even though it is seems she is choosing to move on her own, is it still wise to give her an eviction notice?
Thank you
updated: because i dont know if i can reply to the question been asked.
Yes i am still living in the hosue

Contact a local Unlawful Defense atty.
I fear you will have to give her a 3 day notice and serve her.
Are you still living in the house too.
