If on a search warrant served at my house, there was also the name of a guy on that did not live in my household, does that make the warrant void?
If so, then is all of the evidence inadmissable?

Lots more facts are needed here and seeing the warrant is a good idea. But you say here "also" which leads me to believe that the warrant was in fact valid as to you and your living there, correct? Then the evidence may be admissable to you. Get legal help. Good luck.
