It may be a guest, roommate, friend, relative, or even someone else with whom you are stuck in your house. Simply asking them to get out may work on a few, but most are just offended or pretend they can’t understand your hints, or just make an excuse to stay a bit longer. To throw out these people, you will need a bit of tactic.
In this article, we will tell you How to get someone to move out.
First things first
A simple and easiest method to get someone to move out of your house is to talk with that person. In a polite tone, at first, tell the person the reasons due to which you want him/her to move. After giving the person all your reasons, respectfully ask that person to move out of your house. It should be noted that clear communication can often resolve such issues before they escalate.
Written communication
If you can’t bring yourself to ask the person to move out of your house, then a simple way is written communication. On a paper, write down your reasons as to why you don’t want that person to remain with you any longer. Make sure the other person reads your reasons. You can also send it to the other person through a common friend. For example, a thoughtfully written letter can often convey sincerity and help maintain a level of respect.
Certified letter
Sending a certified letter to the other person is another polite method of asking the person out of your house. Seek the help of an attorney who will help you draft a certified letter and send the eviction notice. This approach is particularly useful if you need to formalize the request and ensure there is a written record.
If the person refuses to leave
If none of the polite methods work and the person strongly refuses to leave, then move on to some more harsh ways. One way is by simply changing the lock of the door. This simple action has just one straightforward meaning: “I don’t want you in my house”. Change the lock and pray that the other person is not such a butt-head that he/she won’t understand. However, it is important to consider the legal implications of such actions, as they can differ depending on local laws.
Make them want to leave
No one likes to live with a person who is irritating. Use this simple rule to get someone out of your house. The best way to irritate a person is by disturbing him/her when he/she is sleeping. Since you are living in the same house, you must know the person’s sleeping schedule. So, when he/she is sleeping, talk on your phone or rather scream on your phone in a high-pitch voice. Pretend you are fighting with someone. Keep doing it for some days, and very soon, the other person will be in search of a new address. Additionally, consider other disruptive behaviors like playing loud music or having frequent guests over.
Friendly new pet
If the person you are living with has a phobia of certain animals or birds, then bring it home as a pet. For example, if the other person doesn’t like rats, bring home one or two pet rats and let them loose. Sit down and watch the fun as the other person jumps up and down in horror. Hopefully, your new pet will give the person enough scare to leave the house. However, just make sure you want the pet yourself, or you'll have to stick with it. Remember, abandoning a pet is NOT AN OPTION! Furthermore, consider the long-term commitment of pet ownership before taking this step.
Uncomfortable situations
What makes a person uncomfortable? Two people making out in front of the person. Ask your boyfriend/girlfriend to drop into your house and have frequent make-out sessions in the living room or at a place which will make the other person uncomfortable. If the other person is still not ready to move out, then make out in his/her bed and make sure that the person catches you both making out in his/her bed. This would definitely make the other person move out. Additionally, consider rearranging common spaces in a way that reduces personal comfort for the person staying with you.

Tips
- If the house is as much his/hers as it is yours, have you thought about moving out yourself? It might be for the best in some occasions. Assessing the living arrangement objectively can sometimes reveal that a mutual parting could be the most amicable solution.
