I do know that if it is your only rental home that you don't have to live by all the landlord/tenant laws. Especially since you don't have a rental agreement, you should at least have papers stating that he was given notice to move. If he signed for it, or signed the notice, that would be great. I'm not too sure about the turning off the water.. due to sanitary reasons, but the gas and electric... go for it. If you can prove that he may destroy the home due to the eviction, you can have the sheriff remove him. I wouldn't mention that you want someone else to move in.. but it really shouldn't hurt if you only have the one rental home. I just saw your previous question... If this part of your home, yes by all means do anything to get them out. Change the locks and turn off all utilities...they are trespassing and can be removed by the sheriff.

yes, that's the only house you've got, so you saying that we have rights to turn off the electricity and water? but there is not any sign paper or anything, just oral agreement. are these counts? by the way, i live in new york.

If you turn off the sevices to try to force an eviction, you're violating the law. http://www.tenant.net/Rights/illevict/illevict.html According to this, even if there is no lease, but the tenant had been living there for 30 or more days, doing what you propose is against the law. According to the NYC tenant/landlord guide, the minimum is a 30 day notice. Your tenant is considered to be a "month to month" renter, without a lease. http://www.housingnyc.com/html/guide/basics.html#Leases
