Is this allowed by law?

If he's not got (much) equity in the house couldn't he stop paying the mortgage and inform the lender to repo the house?

Yes, good advice. Let's not only advise the friend to totally screw himself with inappropriate action, let's make sure he completely fks himself with a cheeky mortgage default for the next 6 years.

Are you the friends girfriend?

Don't be stupid.

IANAL, but my ex is a family lawyer.

Her advice in any of these situations was invariably:
Calm down, think before acting, make sure that you are seen to be whiter than white until proceedings take place. Once you've come across well in court (& the other party is shown to have been stty) you've won. Then seek redress through legal channels & take the bh down for whatever you can get.

The wheels turn very slowly, but they generally turn in the direction of the genuine party.

Right it's been a few days since this thread started. By now I'd expect the OP to have sorted this with extreme prejudice. Violence is the only solution.

What's to stop the homeowner cease paying the utility bills as he is no longer using them or liable for them? Presumably he should also legally contact council tax collecters to confirm he is no longer resident and inform them of who is?

Why is he not liable for bills in his name at his address? He has no tenancy agreement with her to show she's lnow liable

I think if there was a more creative idea than getting a baseball bat other than talking to a lawyer it would have been suggested.

Although for the record I think we've missed the PH favourites of:

Frozen sausages in the lawn
Wait until she's out then cling film over the toilets
Supergloo in the locks
Getting a load of illegal immigrants to move in and squat in the house with her

For the lawyers who are knocking around, what is the correct legal way of removing an unwelcome house guest?
