Since you need to have a Court evict him (you can't just evict him yourself), I would continue listing "your" address.

   Are you in small claims or landlord tenant court? Small claims typically serves the respondent based upon the address you provide. By contrast, you must find a process server to serve process in landlord tenant court. Either way, the respondent must be served in accordance with the rules of your court.
