A:
It depends on if he is on the lease or was a tenant.
Unfortunately, you need to talk to an attorney.
You may need to file FED (eviction) proceedings to get him removed from the property. In the alternative, if he is not a tenant and does not have a right to be on the property then you may be able to call the police and get him removed for tresspass. Even then, most police departments require a court order. To be safe, a court order is a good idea so you do not run into unlawful eviction problems. Like I said, you need to talk to an attorney to figure out the best course of action.
