What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CT
Here's a quick summary of the situation: A homeowner in CT had a live in boyfriend. The boyfriend never paid rent, though he did give the homeowner money on less than 5 separate occasions. Once was to pay an electric bill, and the other times were to pay back the homeowner for money that was borrowed for personal things. The boyfriend receives food stamps, which he used to buy shared food. The relationship is now over, and the homeowner asked the boyfriend to leave. The boyfriend won't leave and has made the living environment such that the homeowner moved back in with their parents.
There was never a lease, though paying rent was discussed verbally. Nothing was ever paid.
The homeowner has cut off the internet and cable, as they are no longer living in the home. Is there a way that the homeowner can have the boyfriend removed quickly? An eviction process seems like it will take a long time, and the boyfriend was never really a tenant. The homeowner can't get a restraining order because it's a homosexual relationship and local law enforcement has resisted becoming involved in past disagreements that became abusive. Though the ex boyfriend never actually hit the homeowner, he has mentally abused him and constantly yells and gets within an inch of the homeowners face when they fight. The ex boyfriend is also prone to "accidentally" walking into people to try to provoke them into fighting. If the homeowner remained in the home, the ex boyfriend would do things like get into his bed and refuse to leave, block his car in the driveway, etc. etc.
So now the homeowner is in the situation of paying the mortgage on a home he can no longer live in because of the ex boyfriend. What is the fastest way to get him out? Also, can he shut off the electricity? The ex boyfriend is leaving lights and appliances on 24/7 since the electric bill is in the homeowners name (obviously, the ex wasn't responsible for anything). He has already turned off internet and cable. The water is via a well. Also, the ex boyfriend is unemployed and has been the entire duration of the relationship, so it's tough for him to find a new place to live.
