Tell your landlord about it.
Check with local law inforcement and if they cause trouble call the police and that will solve everything also be sure to contact your landlord and tell them
According to “just causes for eviction” from Tenant Rights Union, one of the just causes is
“2. The tenant has violated a term of the rental agreement or lease and has received written notice about this from the landlord and has not corrected the violation;”
and
” 4. The tenant is using the unit for an illegal purpose;”
So who is this guy and what’s his relation to you? If he has no relations to you, then it’s the landlord’s problem. If he’s sub-leasing the basement from you for storage, I hope you have a lease agreement signed, as it’s time to began eviction proceedings, even if you’re just a “sub-landlord”.
If you do have landlord - tenant relations with the guy, then it’s time to check this chart:
EDIT: do NOT lock him out. That can be counted as you harassing a tenant (assuming he’s subleasing the basement from you).
