Q: How can I make my abusive boyfriend leave my property? [Owensboro, KY]
I live with my boyfriend in Owensboro, KY, and we've been together for 6 years. We are on a month-to-month lease, which is under my name, and there are no financial or property agreements between us. He refuses to leave and has been abusive. Although I can afford to stay, he cannot. The police have been unable to assist. How can I legally make him leave the property?
A: Give him notice to vacate in thirty (30) days in writing. If he does not leave, go yo district court and file a forcible detainer (eviction) against him.
