My question involves an eviction in the state of: My roommate has always had a problem with paying his utilities on time or even at all. They were explicitly stated in our verbal agreement, as that is all we have between us that he would pay half. Now he owes me nearly $900. I want to evict him but I also want my money.
He is not on the lease, and I am curious as to if I can evict him myself? If so, can I just change the locks and leave his stuff on the front lawn? Also, since he isn't on the lease, and my landlord has a stipluation that he can live there but they can demand him out at a moments notice, can I use that if they will help me? If I change the locks, can I keep his $800 plasma TV inside as payment?
I live in Arizona, any help would be appreciated.
