He lives there right? As in, his primary address? License, mail, documents..... Whatever, he uses it at his address? Hate to break it to you, but you're shit out of luck. Lease or not, he lives there. Plenty of people are tenants at will, not under any leases. You're gonna have to go through the gauntlet of evicting him.

It's a different story if it's a domestic violence situation, which it sounds like it's not. But he is a tenant, and he has rights. Last thing you want to do is throw his stuff out/change the locks

You're obviously angry and upset. And for obvious reasons. But the simple fact is that he legally lives there. And you can't illegally kick him out. The faster you start the process, the better. You are looking at a minimum of two months. Between 30 day notice, then eviction and court date, followed by courts likely giving him a fair bit of time to find a place (especially since it's winter)

The faster you get the ball rolling, the better

Did he ever sign a piece of paper that says he has the right to live there? Has he given you anything in return for living there?

Well, if you feel safe, give the night, call a lawyer tmrw. The guy at this point is trespassing in a sense. You don't want LEO but, this most likely will end with that. If he has no where to go, tell him to move to florida, its warmer.

He's a squatter if he stays past an eviction deadline. He's a slandered tenant if you just sit there telling him to leave without following the legal process and complaining in a public forum.
