Q: How can I get my sister to move out my house. She has been staying with me for almost four years she doesn't pay any
Thing and she refuses to leave after I asked her. She is not on my mortage. I tired I don't know what to do.
A: Unfortunately you must file a Detainer Warrant against her in General Sessions Court. She can be served personally or it can be posted on the door. You are trying to get a Judgment for Possession, not rent. If she does not leave after 10 days, you must request the Court issue a Writ of Possession. It would be better to hire an attorney to do this. Do not get into an argument, but ignore her. Otherwise she will throw you in jail and have leverage. You must file this now or you may have a time problem.
