you must first deal with the problem of you husband sleeping with his ex-wife.

Well yes of course! Just give her a 30 day notice to move!! I would think if your husband wanted her out, she would be out, don't you?

you have to write up an eviction notice (even if there is no lease agreement, do it to cover your own butt) and give her so much time (even if it's only a few days) and then kick her out!

No, he doesn't have that right. Lease or no lease, she has a valid tenancy. You have to follow the proper legal procedure to evict her. Find out what it is and do it. Next time don't wait until someone is "4 months" behind, and change the name on the utilities the minute someone moves in. P.S. Self -help eviction is illegal in every state. If you kick her out or turn off her utilities, she will sue you AND you could be arrested. My guess is that she has been "paying" rent ... just not with cash. No one lets their ex live for free for four freaking months and leaves their name on the utilities otherwise.

He has to legally evict her. Since she has no written lease she is legally "month to month". Since she pays no rent he simply has to issue her a 30 day notice. If she is still there he needs to file an unlawful detainer with small claims court. If he simply throws her out, as many are suggesting here, he will find himself thrown in jail. It is illegal to throw anyone out without a court order. Even then, the sheriff does the throwing, never, ever, the landlord.

Yup! She's outta there!
