Out here in Arizona, if his name is not on the lease, he has no receipts to prove rent payment and you two are not legally married, all you have to do is order him to leave. If he refused, he would be subject to arrest for criminal trespass. The landlord/tenant act does not apply to a bum boyfriend leaching off a gainfully employed girlfriend.
We would normally allow him about ten minutes to gather clothing for a few days, health and hygiene items and advise him to contact the court for a civil stand-by order at a later date to come get the rest of his belongings with a police officer/deputy sheriff present to keep the peace.
Oh man, I wish it was that easy here. The whole established residency more or less, but it sure would be nice if it was a simple trespass situation like you mentioned for most circumstances....
