Do I Need an attorney in Fayetteville AR area.

[Amy Perry]

Looking for guidance. Have a recently disabled caretaker a little upset that he has to vacate to properly. We have let him stay for free for the last 8 year's basically supporting him, with a verbal agreement he would fix up the place. The house is worse than when he moved in. We asked for rent, and now he said he will be out by August 1st. However, we had a running fridge, stove, washer & dryer, and riding lawnmower. He took it upon himself to replace said items without letting us know they were broke. Not sure if it's all worth fighting for. Can we even legally get him out? We just hope he leaves without destroying what's left of the home. We plan on moving in for the restore. Any advice or a attorney who can assist would be amazing. Thanks.

I'm not an attorney, but if your lease is defaulted to a month to month, or even if he is a "Squatter" you can give him a 30 day notice to vacate. Then I would get an attorney to help with the eviction cost. 

You can also, "pay for keys." you would say something like "hey if you leave in 10 days, I will give you $500 dollars, but I have to see all of your stuff out and nothing destroyed to the property." Make up your own terms.
