File a Formal Notice to Evict
You'll have to file a formal eviction with the court if your roommate refuses to leave or fix the violation within the allowed time frame stated in your notice to quit. The court will set a date for an eviction hearing and will serve your roommate with formal notice of that date.
Can a tenant evict a flatmate?
A tenant has the right to evict someone from the flat who is not a tenant – but they should give reasonable notice. (If you have a flat-sharing agreement it might specify the notice period.) If the flatmate does not leave by the end of the notice period, the tenant can serve them with a trespass notice.
