Q: I would like to know what my rights are to have a family member out of my home
The family member has started a job and has not paid me anything to help cover my bills each month. He has caused me so much trouble since with accusations but not threats. He doesn't help me out around the house either when it comes to household chores inside the home. He sees that I have a health condition which I need help from time to time and doesn't do anything to help there either. I want him out of my home as he is not paying anything to live with me. His father passed away and now he is making me look like the bad guy on social media. I dont need the drama or the frustration any longer- I need an answer right away what I can do to get him out of this home. I would appreciate any help I can get with this ASAP!!
A:
If it's your house and he's an adult I suggest you can change the locks but rather than do anything drastic, suggest you talk to a counselor about how to do it and what to say and how to say it. It's your house, you control who lives there. (you wouldn't want him paying rent because then he'd have a right to be there).
Your property, you don't need to justify. If he's an adult he needs to be treated like one.
