Do you have any kind of a written lease with this person, and have you given him any written notices to pay the rent or move? If you have allowed the person to live rent-free for a year without DOING anything about it, a judge is not going to be very sympathetic towards your problem. They may refuse to evict the person until you have given the proper eviction paperwork to your tenant. A judge may just tell you that if YOU didn't care about collecting any rent for a year, WHY should you care about it now. In my state of Iowa, if a LL lets a T go past 30 days of owing rent without filing for eviction in the courts, the LL loses the right to evict for that month. You may end up just giving the person a 30 day notice to move, and then try to evict him if he doesn't move.
