Louisville, KY asked in Elder Law and Landlord - Tenant for Kentucky

Q: How do i get my daughtert and her family to leave my home. They refuse to pay rent.

My nearly 40 yr old daughter and her family moved in when they were evicted, and it was supposed to be temp. They do not pay rent and have totally trashed our house. We need them out of here as the stress is unbearable. Her husband smirked at us and said we couldnt evict them due to covid. Surely we can do something as they do not pay rent. We are elderly and sick and i feel they take advantage of that.

A: Covid protections for evictions have expired. You can evict them now most anywhere in Kentucky. Simply go to your district court snd file a petition to evict. Also, if you ever catch them all gone from your home at the same time, simply set their belongings on the curb, change the locks and you can be rid of them that way as well.
