If you have a hostile situation with a lodger in your home you should consult with a landlord tenant attorney immediately about obtaining a restraining order against him or her as well as serving a thirty (30) day notice of termination of the lodging.
Even though you do not have a written lease with the tenant, there is an implied in fact lease under the law due to either conduct or an oral agreement.
