Have to kick out my roommate.

So this is not my r/letsnotmeet story since it didn't happened to me specifically, but it involves my roommate so I feel directly involved.

I live with my BF in a house that really is too big for us so we rent out our spare room. Well call him Rick, has been living with us for 2 months. We had minimal roommate problems like dirty dishes left in the sink, but nothing major. To be honest I never see him, he works a lot and spends anytime at home in his room. I'm anti social too so I didn't see this as odd. The only thing that stood out was that my dog HATES him. She was abused by a man previously so again I wasn't overly surprised, but she seemed particularly aggressive with him. So I was already considering ending his lease (he is month to month) but there was no real reason other than the dog thing and a gut feeling so I tried to brush it off. Then this happened:

My bf and I were going out of town, me on a small trip/ him for his job. We have two dogs and not wanting to put that responsibility on the roommate we hired a dog sitter to come stay at the house. She is actually a really good friend of mine and I have known her since birth, well call her Sally. I left Thursday and my bf left sat morning. Sally got to the house about 2pm sat. She had met my house mate a few days prior for about 2 min when I was walking her through the dog's stuff.

I get a call at about 9pm sat night from Sally telling me that Rick had made a pass at her and she no longer felt comfortable in the house. I'm on the other side of the country and my bf is states away. Fuck. I ask for details. What happened was Sally was just chilling at the house cooking dinner and taking care of the dogs. Rick comes home from work and immediately starts chatting her up and being "pushy flirtatious". Basically the opposite of what he does when I'm home alone with him which was immediately go into his room and shut the door. She does her best to shut him down and diffuse the situation. He leaves her be to take a shower and she hopes he got the message.

An hour later she is sitting on the couch doing work on her laptop when he comes in and asks if its okay for him to watch TV. She says sure what ever. He sits on the opposite side of the couch and then slowly moves closer and closer. He continues to try to engage her in conversation to which she gives minimal effort as she is working. Eventually he pushes harder for her attention and puts a hand on her leg. She gets up and leaves the room. Then she calls her mom to come get her. Once she is out of the house is when she calls me.

Now for anyone who thinks this is an over reaction, imagine a pushy guy at a bar that is just not getting the hint. You met him maybe 5 min prior and he decides that was enough to harass you. He's trying to talk to you and interact with you when you are clearly uninterested. Now imagine being stuck alone in a house with that guy. No this crosses a line. It would have been one thing if it was after a few days of them chilling in the house together and him getting the wrong impression, this took less than 3 hours to escalate.

We worked it out for her to take the dogs to her moms and stay there with them. Rick is completely oblivious that he crossed a line at all and has made no notion to me or her to apologize for his actions. He even called me the next day to ask if there was anything he should do to take care of the house since "The dog sitter left". No mention of why she left. So now it looks like my instincts were right about him and I have to kick him out. Seeing as I didn't see this kind of behavior coming I am little worried about how he will react. I am hopping for the best, but prepared for the worst. At least if he does something crazy I can evict him faster.

To Rick after you move out may we not meet again.
