How do you get him to leave if he doesn't plan to go? He keeps making promises but doesn't pay the b…

through the courts. But what does the contract say?

To start, raise the rent (a little above market price), and there's a high chance they'll leave on their own 😁

Elena I thought so too. But he pays even this pittance sporadically.
His wife left him, and then he started stressing me out.

Raise the price, or include all utilities (heating), and they'll think about another option.

Shokun Irina So he doesn't pay the utility bills, or only pays part of them.

Shokun Irina As the owner, you have the right to evict anyone from the apartment who isn't registered there, even through a court order.

What is the contract duration?

Anastasiya Soloveva 10 years ago, they were living there. It was for three years. They were a great family, they even did some repairs for me. Then I verbally approved their continued stay. I didn't raise the rent - I just wanted them to live there. We divorced a year and a half ago, she moved out, and he started causing trouble with the payments. I suspect he's drinking it away. As soon as we talk, he pays something, and then the debts start piling up again.

Shokun Irina I'm in Europe, but my apartment is in Russia. I gave him three months' notice that I was moving out. I have five days left, and today I called to ask if he was ready to leave – he's not.
I told him that my relatives would come and help. But I guess that's not allowed, right?

Shokun Irina Oh, by the way, changing the locks is an option!

Elena He was given three months in writing until 10/15.
Today on the phone, he said no, he's not planning on moving out.

Shokun Irina There's an adult there, they're responsible for themselves.
You warned them? Everything else is on them.
Change the locks and put their things in a locker, for example,
so they can't claim their stuff was stolen later, etc.

Shokun Irina When moving, they'll say things were stolen.

through the court

Elena Did they give you the money? Do they owe you something? Will they be able to pay you back by the 15th?

Do you have a contract? What does it say?
Police don't evict tenants; that's done through court bailiffs.
If there's no contract, you change the locks and only open the door for him to get his things.
I've had to kick people out 3 times like this, but we stopped getting paid.
