Because casual flatmates are not covered by the Residential Tenancies Act, eviction must follow common-law contract principles and any written flat-sharing agreement. If there is a written agreement, you must provide the mutually agreed-upon notice period (commonly 14 to 28 days). If there is no written contract, providing a reasonable written notice period (typically 14 days) is standard legal practice. If a flatmate refuses to leave peacefully or becomes aggressive, you must seek police assistance for trespassing or file a claim through the Disputes Tribunal.
