Hey all,

I have to evict some unwanted housemates this weekend (Im the only one on the lease) and was wondering if anyone here's had to do it before. If so did you encounter any problems along the way? any advice on how to break it to them? I was planning on giving them some time to get sorted/find somewhere else to live, should I?

My main reasoning for giving them the boot is they've managed to turn the place into a bit of a halfway house for their buddies from their previous point of origin and letting them share the room isnt at all working out (they occupy a lot of the general living space). there's plenty of other smaller reasons that I could probably live with on a day to day basis but put it all together and Subs is really stressed out

Thank God for being able to escape by going windsurfing (or as we call it over here in WA now, floating)

put everything, bar their most personals, on the front lawn and change the locks, then demand all outstandings in return for the personals...

arm yourself beforehand if your flatmates are likely to run you through

Thanks for the advice Doc, Ive been waiting for the oppurtunity to try out my old mast extenstion as a baton

for a carton I'll come over this weekend with a suit on and tell them I own the house and they need to leave as it's being sold..

problem solved..

Make sure you draft a light version of the Sheldon Cooper style of room mate agreement to keep things in check with your next tennants , J

Sit them down for shots of Black Sambuca. Kind of symbolic. After the first or second shot, it's time to tell them that they need to move on !!

AND if they don't then the price is a Keg for the Longboard mafioso to nudge nudge blink blink , we have an irresisable and subtle message - Chrispychru & the Russians

Why don't you just suggest this really cool internet forum to them called "seabreeze". Tell them you hang out on here as someone called subs.

nebs. i now respect you even more.

Let us know how you fare.
Better yet: wear a Gopro on top of your head as you do it and publish it !

had this problem once.
i rang the local police and told them i would be evicting a tenant and I thought it might get violent. they asked at what time ,and what day I would be doing it and they turned up and sat in their car out the front.
a very peacable solution for all

Head or gut? its the only question you need to ask ;)
