I am not sure where this is meant to be but basically my ex is a cheating bastard who has lost the best thing in his life.

But anyway, he is refusing to move out of the family home, stating he pays for it (he does)

But we get it at a very cheap rate due to the fact my mum owns the home, the tennancy agreement is in my name only. I cannot work due to mental health problems so his whole entire I pay for it is bollocks.

All bills are in my name and come out of my bank. What rights do I have?

Hi I am not knowledgeable in this at all but didn't want you to go unanswered, just going on what I've read in other threads. Surely if the tenancy is in your name only he cannot just refuse to leave. I'm not sure if you would have to give him notice or if you can simply have him removed by police. Perhaps call the non emergency number 101 I think it is and ask?

Sorry you find yourself in this position Thanks

Hi thank you for your reply.

I hadn't thought about calling 101

Its a bugger but it happens I have to try and deal with it for the best. I love the flowers, would prefer wine though ;)

What an awful situation. Can you get advice from a solicitor as to the best way to have him removed?

Or have a chat with the CAB?

Change the locks when he goes out?

Have you told your mum?

OfCourse · 08/09/2014 06:57

are you married ?

If you're not married and it's your name only on the tenancy then you absolutely can force him to leave. If he refuses, call the police and they will remove him.

I'm not sure I understand what the problem is.

It doesn't matter if he pays the rent when it's in YOUR name, if it's in YOUR name then you can just get the police to kick him out!

If you are not married, just give him reasonable notice, if you haven't yet.
In any case, at the end of the period, just change the locks and put his stuff out.

If you are married, get legal advice regarding it.
Women's Aid may be able to advise you or refer to a good solicitor.

I don't think you have to give him any notice at all unless he is named on a tenancy. He is just some bloke standing in your house refusing to leave.

Call the police on 101.
