Recourse To Get LiveIn Boyfriend Out of My Home

My boyfriend has been living with me in my Contra Costa County CA home 10 1/2 yrs. I own the home as a single woman, we don't have a written agreement, he hasn't paid me rent for 4 months by mutual agreement,he used to pay rent. When discussing him leaving he says he won't, he feels entitled as he has improved my home (again no agreement). Can a person evict a tenant-at-will? If so what is process? Do I need to give 60 day notice as he has been there over 10 years? Must I claim fear of physical abuse in order to get a restraining order? If I get a restraining order against him, is there a way he could be allowed on property to move his goods etc? Norma

You should talk with an attorney about your situation. You asked about alleging physical violence to get a restraining order. You must be very truthful in any request for a restraining order. To get a domestic violence restraining order does not require actual physical violence. The restraining order can be issued if there is emotional abuse. An attorney can help evaluate the possibility of getting a restraining order and his removal from your home.
