Illinois eviction help

[Jayme Carlson]

Starting my first eviction today. Boone county, Illinois. My question is, since I live in the other side of this duplex (I’m househacking, do I have any extra leverage versus if I didn’t live here. Is there anything that makes it easier since it’s an owner occupied property, or at least a quicker process?

I have a tenant in there and she asked to have her boyfriend move in. I said ok. Now they broke up and he’s refusing to leave. The cop told is that she needs to file a civil eviction. Is that correct? Do I need to stay out of it for now?
