First, if the situation is urgent, seek help immediately by calling 911 or 1-800-SUICIDE or 1-800-273-TALK. If it’s not an urgent situation, then here’s how you can help them get the support that they need. Listen to them. Don’t make it about yourself or push an agenda.

And if the person again just shows up unannounced without calling first, you can say in a polite tone, “I’m sorry but this isn’t a good time for me for a visit. If you call me later we can decide on a good time. I need to go now, ‘bye.” That’s just being assertive, not rude.

You are trespassing.” If someone trespasses on your property despite due warning the practical remedy is to ask them to leave. If they don’t you are entitled to use no more than reasonable force to eject the trespasser. However, you are not entitled to assault or harm a trespasser in any way.

Tell her how soon you want her to move out. If possible, give her a reasonable amount of time to find a new place to live. Say something like, “I’d like to shoot for the end of the month,” or “I think 30 days should be enough time to find a place.

It isn’t true that you can’t make him leave. If it is your house (i.e., he isn’t a co-owner of it) and he is a guest who will not leave, you may be able to evict him, just like any other landlord.

Lay out your reasons for asking them to leave, and let them know that you understand how hard this is. Speak to them as you would a co-worker, sticking to the facts and not emotional outbursts. Say, “We’ve enjoyed having you, but we unfortunately need our space back and have to ask you to leave in the next two weeks.”

A guest who won’t leave is technically a trespasser — unless, that is, the police think he’s a tenant. This situation can quickly become complicated. Houseguests who have overstayed their welcomes are technically trespassing, which is a crime. However, getting rid of a trespassing houseguest can be challenging.

Someone living rent-free in a house has the same rights as a rent-paying tenant in many areas, so you may want to be at least a bit careful with your management of the property – and with your relationship with the person living in the place… Of course you can.

But here are a few other things in between you can do to gently hurry folks along:

1. Change the mood. To get rid of guests who won’t leave, change the mood with music and lighting.
2. Try an explicit approach.
3. Or the blunt way.
4. The humorous way.
5. Start to clean off gently.
6. Use a friend to get the ball rolling.
