He’s grown accustomed to living off from you and is in denial about that gravy train coming to an end. That’s my guess anyway. His motivation doesn’t really matter to you, except where it comes to motivating him to vacate.

I’m not sure what other options may be open to you. I would say whatever route you choose to go down, having a lawyer to guide you through it would be the best help for you. I wouldn’t want to go through the eviction process myself without a lawyer’s advice, God forbid you miss crossing a t or dotting an i and it resets you back to square one. And it sounds like you’re dealing with someone who would take full advantage of any missteps you may make. I feel bad for you and wish I could come up with some kind of silver bullet that would resolve the situation for you.

I know. That’s why I was suggesting paying him to move out. It seems counterintuitive I know, and I hate that our laws put people like you in such horrible positions, but maybe if you helped him get into his own apartment by giving him some strings-attached cash you could save yourself the pain of the formal eviction process. Does he deserve to be evicted and have that on his record? Hell yes! Do you deserve the inconvenience and expense of making that happen? Hell no! Is it worth it to you to give him what is essentially a bribe to vacate? Only you can answer that. I still think it’s worth your time to at least have an initial consult with a lawyer. I have passed the mass real estate license exam and am a real estate investor, but I’m not a lawyer, and a lawyer specializing in real estate law would be far better positioned to give you advice than I or anyone else here.

I wouldn’t be overly concerned with him suing you, if I were you I’d be concerned about him squatting in your place for however many months it takes to legally evict him. Presumably you’re done with him and your quality of life will be negatively impacted by having him present where you live. Not to mention how much physical damage he could potentially do to your property.

That’s not how the law works. Do you own the place? Are you a tenant yourself and if so who’s on the lease with you? You really should consult with a lawyer specializing in real estate law, Massachusetts is notorious for being unfriendly to landlords. You may be better off offering him some cash to vacate, it could take months and cost you a lot to formally evict him.

I’ve done this a few times. Make sure you leave ample travel time to the airport in case the border crossing is slow or you hit traffic coming to the bridge.
