How do I put my dead beat boyfriend of 4 years out of my house?

He pays up to $400 a month in rent and he gives me his link card to purchase groceries. I’m sick and tired of his ignorant ways. I think he may be violent when I give him the message to leave. What do I need to do?

As to getting him out you need to evict him if he will not go voluntarily.  You will need to give him 30 days notice and have it properly served.  If he does not move after 30 days you need to serve him with a petition to evict him.  But I am worried about what you re saying about his being violent.  Is there anyone that you can have there that can help to sooth him or smooth things over (and protect you in case)?  If he does over react you may need a restraining order.  Good luck.
