Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida
I rent a room to a friend of mine who has not paid rent for six months. No contract was signed, we were just friends. Can I pack his stuff up and get it out of my house and change the locks on my house so he can't come inside again? We have tried to collect the rent for the last six months.

No. The "friend" is a tenant. You need to give formal notice and then evict by formal process if he does not move.
