Eviciting occupant of a house who has some equity in it in the US
<p>I bought a house with an ex-colleague and I put up 85% of money and my colleague put up 15%. With an agreement that he would pay rent for the 85%. </p>

<p>Now he has stopped paying rent. What are my options? Can I get him evicted? If yes, what happen to his stakes?</p>

<p>Owners can't be evicted from their own property. That's one of the fundamental rights of real estate ownership.</p>

<p>You may have a contractual basis for a lawsuit that either leads to payment or provides for forfeiture of their share, but that relies on the details of your specific case and will require specific legal advice from your own lawyer.</p>
