Long-term guest - I want him gone, wife doesn't!

[Account Closed]

I've been a wannabe investor for several years, and have enjoyed reading BiggerPockets. Sadly, the topic that finally motivated me to create an account and jump in is not a happy one:

We have an adult, non-family-member guest living in his own RV in our yard (within the Austin city limits). Here's the wrinkle - I want him gone; my wife doesn't. She and I are both listed on the mortgage. We live in Austin, TX.

We let the guy park there to "help him out for a while" (which I'm sure you folks have heard a lot). He's been using our utilities, shower, food, etc since. After the first month, we grumbled about the increased grocery bill, so he sent me $300 via PayPal with a note saying 'January rent'. He's sent nothing since (2 months). We have no written or verbal agreement in place with him.

Dazzlingly, when I pressed on my discomfort about what I saw as a growing connection between my wife and our guest, she asked ME to leave. I've been living remotely for two weeks, leaving the two of them at our place while I service the mortgage, pay the utilities and so forth. I'll spare you what I think of this development.

Really hoping my wife and I can come to joint accord on this via counseling, but I'm trying to understand what could be done legally, should I need to press the issue.

Thoughts welcome. Thanks in advance --
