Re: Have someone put out of house

Certainly. If he is not an owner or a lawful tenant, he has no legal right to live there without your permission. If he's a threat to harm you, you can file a domestic violence petition and he'll be removed immediately by the sheriff; if not, order him to leave and if he refuses, go to a police station and file a petition for a peace order with the commissioner. To get a peace order, you need to state under oath that he has harrassed you or is a trespasser, or assaulted or threatened you, or destroyed your property, whichever the case may be. He can be ordered to stay away from your residence, place of employment or you.
