Ex-boyfriend won't move out.

[ohcecelia]

Just looking for a bit of advice really.

My partner and I broke up two days ago. Despite being able to go and stay at his mother's he would rather stay in our home that we share with DD. My grandad is the owner and we are the tenants.

My GD will be in touch with his solicitor tomorrow but does anyone have any idea how long this sort of thing takes? He is on the tenancy agreement with me and has said he will move out after two weeks, but I can see it taking a lot longer. If he left me alone that would be fine but he's very emotionally abuse, controlling, walks around swearing at me to our two year old DD, won't turn on the WiFi so I can get work done etc (he pays for it). I've never earned a lot of money as I've been the main caregiver and worked around being a housewife really, so I'm very conscious about trying to get tax credits and housing benefit sorted but I'm unable to at the moment.

Any advice on where to go from here would be appreciated.

If you’re joint tenants unfortunately, legally, I don’t think you can force him to leave. A solicitor will be able to give your grandad more information, but it’s important to separate emotions from the legalities of a legal tenancy agreement.

Maybe try calling woman’s aid and see what they advise re the emotional abuse and your rights.

Are you on OK terms with your ex partners Mum? Can you ask her to speak to him and encourage him to move out?

Assumping you are in England /Wales, you can apply (legal aid available) for a non molestation and occupation order to get him out. Get advice from a legal aid solicitor.

give notice , that ends the tenancy for both of you. doesnt need his permission. source - shelter. do it properly in writing.

your grandad then relets to just you.

If you are in a fixed term joint tenancy then you cant just give notice as you will need his agreement to do this.
If it is periodic (rolling) then you can give notice which will end the tenancy for you both. Your GD can then grant a new tenancy in your name.
As MrsBertBibby said -the other opdtions are as she suggested
