I own the house and rent a room to a roommate in NJ. I live in the same house and asked the guy to move out because he was 2 months late in rent. The guy said he has no money and refuse to leave since he has no where to go. He has no written agreement just oral contract on a month to month. My question is, since it is my house and I feel unsafe, can I just change the locks and remove his stuff from my house? I already gave him a written notice of 5 days vacate and this was the only written document that he has that is signed by me. I really do not feel like going to court and file the official eviction procedure. Please advise me on anything else I have rights to. TY
