Depending on the terms of the tenancy, your uncle will need to file either an eviction or ejection action. He will first need to give a three day notice telling your cousin to vacate the premises. Failing such, suit will have to be filed.

Any error can delay the final results by a substantial period or could have the case dismissed altogether. To avoid this, your uncle should retain an attorney to represent him in this matter.

Get an attorney; you'll mess things up if you do it without one.
