Can I make my husband leave?

[bookworm103]

We live in a rented house. The agreement is in my name only, as are all the bills, council tax etc, nothing is in his name.

I've asked him to leave but he says he won't, can I make him?

Thank you

when he goes out change all the locks

[ummmm]

Yep...change the locks.

Seek legal advice. There is no hard and fast rules about this. My understanding is that if it where he lives you cannot remove him but if there are extenuating circumstances it may be possible.

Not according to the police when I tried to get my ex out.

Although the house is in a way legally yours as your the one on the agreement i think you would still have to give him suitable notice to vacate and do that in writing etc. I think he will have tenents rights. Put this question into law and you will probably catch someone who knows more on subject. Good luck xxx

pack up his belongings and change the locks. If he kicks off or tries to break in then call the police.

He would only have access to his stuff .. and the police would reluctantly accompany him in to get this stuff. However, if you pack it all up and leave to be collected, he would have no right of access.

Lotsafun .. He is NOT a tenant tho .. is he? He is an invited guest, really.

Thanks for all your help. It looks like I might have to go down a legal and/or police route to get him out. The big bruise on my chin where he punched me should help though!!
