Q: My wife moved her relative into our home without consulting me and against my wishes. Can I make the relative leave?
The relative and I have not been on good terms for years.
The relative brought pets with her in addition to the 5 that we already had and it is creating a very unsanitary and tense situation in our home.
I have asked the relative and my wife numerous times for the relative to leave and she will not.
While I am away at work my property and belongings have been taken and our house is being destroyed by The Animals.
A: If you are the owner of that place you can make them leave with a simple Legal Notice from a lawyer if they don't respect that legal notice you can proceed with a civil suit for ejection.

A: You will need to retain an experienced landlord tenant attorney to represent you in this matter. However, since you and your wife are probably co-owners of the house, it may not be so simple and straight forward. Good luck.
