If I’ve let my friend stay in my house on the condition he would get a job but he has failed to do so, how do I evict him?
I told him he had 3 months to get a job. It has been 3 months and he has no job and is not making plans to leave.

So your guest has become a squatter. Then you need to formally evict him in order to get a Sheriff there to get him and his things out. You will need to give him proper notice under the law (probably 30 days) and have him properly served. It can indeed be expensive to do this but necessary. Do not serve him yourself. If he does not vacate in the 30 days then you start eviction proceedings. Get help. Good luck.
