If he is currently financially dependent on you , you could set him up with a new place . He probably wouldn ' t qualify or be able to afford an apartment on his own , so look for a roommate situation . Pay his deposit and 34 months rent in advance , and after that he is on his own . It will cost a little but it ' s worth it . It will give him time figure out how to support himself . But what if he refuses to leave ? In that case you might have to just give up your current apartment and find a new place on your own . You could say If you agree to leave within 30 days I ' ll help you find a place and pay for your first 4 months . If you don ' t agree to leave , I ' m terminating the lease and leaving you next week , with nothing . Hopefully that won ' t be necessary though .
