Can you kick someone out of your house if they are not on the lease in Texas?
You can only evict your roommate if they aren’t on the lease or are your subtenant. Most of the laws relevant to leased apartments in Texas can be found in Title 8, Chapter 92 of the Texas Property Code. This law says that a lease can be oral or written, and can be made between a tenant and a subtenant.
Can I kick my boyfriend out?
Generally no. If he’s been living there and it would be reasonably considered his home, then he has tenant rights and can’t be removed without a proper eviction. And some non-legal advice: don’t move in with a boyfriend you’re planning on dumping. That’s just going to end in tears for everyone.
How do you get a girlfriend out of your house?
If she does not have the legal right to remain in the home, consider giving her a written request to leave. This can be done by you or your landlord. The request should give a moving deadline. If she does have rights to stay (e.g. she is on the lease), you might still consider giving her a written request to leave.
