Q: Hello can my uncle evict my brother and sisters from his home even tho they lived there all they life and he live there
And he own the house and he never ask them for rent
A: If they are 18 years or older, then as the owner of the home, he can evict them, whether or not they ever paid rent. They would be considered month to month tenants, and the owner can terminate their occupancy at the end of any month by giving them each a 30 day written notice to vacate. If they don't leave, then the owner can give them a 3 day written notice, and then can file the eviction action. An eviction becomes a permanent court record, and it can make it difficult for them to rent from a landlord who checks for prior evictions. So they should either work it out with him, or make arrangements to move, to avoid having him file an eviction against them.
