How do I get my roomate/friend to move out? Ive asked him several times and it seems he is avoiding it?

So... about a year and a half ago I needed a roomate.. and it was about this time I met this friend, lets call him bob. Bob happened to need a place so I figured hey he can rent a room from me. Well, over the past year and a half we are somewhat friends, but he doesnt seem to take rent seriously and he keeps thinking its ok to be late and only pay partially. Ive been too nice from the start, letting him slide for a month or two when he didnt have a job. Well, now im very tired of never getting rent on time or fully. I asked him to move out by june 1 but it seems like hes totally diregarding it and not looking for a new place to go... What should I do? I just want him out, but I cant just throw his stuff outside even though I want to, he has no place to go. Ive tried to help him by showing him some rooms for rent but he doesnt seem to be trying to actually make the effort to rent t

He is not on the lease... i sent him an email today telling him he has until june 1, I already found another renter for the room so theres no more Mr. Nice Guy. I told him several times previously but I sent him an email JUST to be sure he can read it over and over to understand whats going on... Thanks for all your help I really appreciate the advice.

Of course he's in no hurry to move out even with you helping him finding another place...where else can he pay partial rent and still have a great apartment to live in? If there's no legal agreement between the two of you and your name is the only name on the rental agreement, you have every right to just throw all his crap out of the apartment. He's taking advantage of your passive nature. You kinda set a precedent by letting him slide with the rent the first few times so he kept doing it for the past year and a half. Do you rather feel sorry for kicking him out or do you want to continue supporting him for the next few years of your life? He needs a swift kick in the butt to get his act together...and you being a "mom" to him is not helping. He needs to grow up and start learning the meaning of responsibility. Make sure you change the locks when you throw his stuff out.

go through the eviction process...

when he doesn't pay rent on time, give him a (i believe it's called) a pay or quit notice. this gives 72 hours to pay or he has to legally be out of the location. Check the laws in your state, as they do vary.

from experience... don't rent to a friend unless that friendship started when you became roommates.

I believe you have already been more than understanding, just tell him he has to go,and give him a time that he has to be out by,if that doesn't work the only alternative is to do what you don't want to, you may have to change the locks.

If he is on the lease, you can give him a 30 day eviction notice, so he has time to either pay up or get out by then. After that, change the lock, and remove his belongings.
