So in cases like these, the only way to get the unwanted guest to leave is to negotiate this with your fellow resident and if that doesn't work out then I am stuck with that guest and nothing more can be done?

You could leave a trail of Reeses Pieces (or some other suitable confectionary delight) leading out the front door to the edge of the property.

Pretty much, yes.

IF the unwanted guest, or the resident who invited the guest in, are violating any laws (like using/selling illegal drugs) or IF the unwanted guest is setting up a permanent home in a rental unit without permission from the landlord (violating terms of a lease), THEN there are potential other actions to take to get the unwanted guest removed.

Is there any reason why no one suggested getting a restraining order against a person then calling police and claiming that the person violated it?

Sure, but what if the "unwanted guest" IS the landlord?

Probably no one suggested a restraining order because nothing you have said indicates the need for a restraining order.

If you want advice on a specific situation, please provide the details.

Because you have given us NOTHING that would lead us to believe you have any sort of prior relationship with this individual that may give rise to the option of filing a restraining order in the first place.

Really, tell us what's going on.

ETA: Yeah, what they said.

I am not sure that is what igor’s thread is all about but, if illegal drugs are involved - and igor is not likewise involved with them - the police can be contacted.
