Can I Stop My Ex Coming Into The House?

Writer John Campbell

Can my ex come into my house?

Do I have to let my ex into my house?

Before you can do anything to get your ex to leave, you need a legal right to live there. For those who own their home and have their name on the deed, you’re safe. As for renting, your name must appear on the lease as the tenant and it’s preferable that your ex’s name does not appear.

How do you know if she still cares?

Examining What They’ve Said. Keep track of the number of times they’ve expressed their longing for you. It’s possible that your ex will say something that will make it clear that they still have feelings for you.

Give her a written notice if she doesn’t have the legal right to stay in the house. You or your landlord can carry out this task. A moving deadline is required in the request.

How long do I have to keep my ex partners belongings?
