Q: In Indiana if a family member stays and is told to leave and they won’t they are not paying rent how do I get them out
A:
The first step is to have a serious talk with the family member, i.e., either pay rent or move out. If that fails,
the next step is to give them an ultimatum. Give them a specific deadline and state that they have to be completely moved out by then. You can offer to assist them in finding a new residence. Ask you other family members for their support in speaking with these unwanted relatives. Perhaps there are some other family members that will take them in. Be clear in communicating with them that if they do not move out by that date, they will be evicted.
One you have tried everything, initiate a legal eviction. You may need to hire to a local attorney to help with you the eviction process. The legal eviction notice will give them a certain date that they are require him to move out.
