How do I get my dead beat ex-boyfriend out of the house?
My ex-boyfriend lives with me and we broke up about 3 weeks ago. He quit his job and is pretty much just sitting around all day drinking to death and verbally assaulting me. He also tries to touch me unwantedly. In addition he has not paid rent in 2 months. His name is on the lease but it is not his real name (he goes by his grandfathers last name and for some reason did not put down his real name). How do I legally get up out of the house as fact as possible. I have clients come over for business and I can not have them if he is there (which right now is all the time).

If he is on the lase - using what ever name he uses - then he has every right to be there. If you are co tenants on the lease you can not evict him. Instead you probably have the obligation to pay the rent in full and then the right to sue him for it. If he is abusive then you have other options that you should be speaking with an attorney about. Good luck.
