You effectively have an abusive stranger in your home, who has physically assaulted you.
Would you put up with the situation if they were some random stranger? No, you would ring the Police immediately.

Call them now,stressing the assaults and that you are in immediate danger. They will 'politely ask' him to go, leaving his keys behind. Failing that he will be arrested, and then probably de-arrested once in their car and away from you.
They will also make arrangements for an emergency locksmith to change your locks in case he has other keys.

Don't assume they are too busy. They are always busy, but never too busy to help someone in this sort of situation, even at midnight on NYE.

No they wont if the OP reports an assault. Any kind of domestic violence requires what police call positive action.
They will arrest him and take him to custody.
They will ask OP if she wishes to give a statemet or if there are any witnesses (such as parents or friends the OP has made a disclosure to).
The ex-bf will be interviewed and the interviewing officer will have to prepare a case file and send it to CPS to make a decision. Being NYE/NYD, there might not bem any solicitors on call so it may take a while for them to make their decision.
The whole process will likely take hours, maybe all night and in to tomorrow afternoon, plenty of time for the OP to change the locks.

If the OP reports that she and the ex have only argued, and it could continue, then police would attend and convey the ex away to prevent a breach of the peace (say, to his parents house for the night), however there is nothing stopping him going back once dropped off.

It's a shame that the Police dealt with things so differently over 20 years ago :mad:

Not to hijack the OP's thread but to reply:
He paid weekly housekeeping and no other financial or physical help was given, despite that, the legal advice given to me by several solicitors all said the same thing - his equal rights gave him some entitlement to my worth, and with his 'No Win No Fee' solicitor he could 'try for anything'.
Advised not to let it go to court as it would be a 50-50 gamble whether i won, those odds gave me no hope and after mediation he got some of the amount he was aiming for.
This was 6 years ago so maybe things are different now.
I despise him, please forgive me if i don't continue to talk about it all, i just want it erased from my mind

He’s been there for two weeks hardly long enough to establish a record of weekly housekeeping since he hasnt even paid anything, so this doesn’t sound remotely like your situation, and your advice would leave him in place longer and the OP open to violence.
OP if you haven’t yet, call the police now and pay for a locksmith if you can’t change the locks yourself.

A non-contributing live-in partner has absolutely no rights apart from collecting belongings.

Had your ex been paying towards the mortgage or house improvements? That would have given him some leverage.

Er, they only moved into the house 2 weeks ago. OP stated that the ex has contributed nothing financially. He has no right of tenure whatsoever. Catsacor's case as outlined is entirely different.

which is exactly the point that was being made by Mojisola in their post.

Sorry - mixing this thread up with another one!

Call the police ASAP

Get him the hell out, if it was my sister is be round there to drag him out. He has no rights, and imo is bow harassing you and being passively threatening (if that's a thing)

Hi,

So my dad bought me a house which is in my name, my boyfriend (now ex) and I moved in a couple of weeks ago. He has no contract and hasn't yet paid any rent or bills.

We have split up and he is refusing to leave my house. I am currently having to sit in my bedroom whilst he is downstairs acting as if he owns the place.

Is there anything I need to do legally and how do I get him out? He will not leave and has hit me quite a few times and I know if I argue with him anymore he will smash the house up (he has damaged previous properties before that we have rented).

My dad mentioned before we moved in that he will have to sign something to say he cannot claim half of the house etc, should I write something up for him to sign before trying to get him out?

Any advice would be great.

What is your agreement with your father?

Are you a tenant or do you live there for free?

Why on Earth would your Dad think that your BF would have a claim on his house??

1: it's in the OPs name, that's in the first line.
2: because of a thing called beneficial interest. Google it if you aren't aware.
