So you think two people living together that one should be able to make the other homeless because of an argument? I disagree.

If you file for eviction it will.have consequences. He'll find it very hard to find a new apartment if he has an eviction on his record.
It just, unfortunately, won't be satisfying for you because you won't see him experience the consequences of his actions

He will face the consequences of not being allowed to live there. It just takes time to force compliance.

You can probably sue for these expenses, but it's a separate filing from eviction and almost certainly not worth the trouble.

Yes that's almost always the case in evictions.

Are you their landlord or their soon-to-be-ex-partner? I've never heard about a good relationship where you were partners then when you moved in you considered yourself their landlord. Maybe you're into that I guess.

It sounds like he's forcing you to be a landlord for you to have your way. I can understand that and the frustration that goes with it but in the eyes of the law you have to act as a landlord. As others have said an eviction notice stays on a record and most apartments won't rent to him once you evict him. It's not smart for him to do this in the long run but you have to follow the law or deal with the consequences.
Bemoaning the law meant to protect people and acting like he's always been a problem is bad form.
