The correct order is;

JHLMPSRT

Or

JHLMPTRS.

4) Paul lives in one of the two houses in the middle.
5) Mike lives in between Paul and Larry.

From this, we can surely say Paul will be in house 5.

2) Harry is just next to the left of Larry.
So, Harry will be in house 2 and Larry will be in house 3.

3)There is at least one to the left of Larry.
7) Harry is not between Taud and Larry
1) Jack is not the neighbor Siman.
6) If at least one lives to the right of Robert.

So, Taud will not come in house 1 because Harry is not between Taud and Larry.
So, Jack or Simon will come in house 1.
According to condition no 6 Robert will come between Taud and Simon, these two can be in the 6th or 8th house.
So, Jack only left he will come in house 1.

Let's consider the houses numbered from 1 to 8 from left to right.

Condition 3 implies there is at least one house to the left of Larry, so Larry cannot be in house 1.

Condition 4 implies Paul lives in one of the two houses in the middle, so Paul can be in house 4 or 5.

Condition 5 implies Mike lives between Paul and Larry. So, considering Paul in house 4, Mike must be in house 3, and Larry in house 2.
But this would violate Condition 3 as Larry has no house to his left. So, Paul must be in house 5, Mike in house 4, and Larry in house 3.

Now, Condition 2 states that Harry is just next to the left of Larry. Therefore, Harry is in house 2.

Condition 6 states that if at least one lives to the right of Robert, so Robert cannot be in house 8, and there must be someone to the right of Robert. Let's consider Robert in house 7 and someone in house 8.

Now, Condition 7 states that Harry is not between Taud and Larry. Since Harry is in house 2, Taud must be in house 1.

So, the arrangement is:

* Taud
* Harry
* Larry
* Mike (between Paul and Larry)
* Paul (one of the two houses in the middle)
(Empty)
* Robert
(Someone to the right of Robert).
