QUESTION
What rights do I have as the sole carrier of the mortgage even though my ex's name is on the deed with mine?

More details to this question:
I bought a house on Shelter Island, New York, five years ago. The mortgage is in my name only but my name and my boyfriend's name are on the deed. We have since split up and he has been living in the house the past few years. We've been trying to sell it to no avail. He refuses to move out even though I have offered to buy him out. He has stopped paying the rent and won't move out. I live in New York City.

You can't throw him out. You can ask for contribution to expenses. He owns half.
