Q: I am disabled and my daughter is my caretaker can she evict me and make me homeless
A:
If your daughter is your caretaker and there's an established legal or familial agreement regarding your care and living situation, it's generally not straightforward for her to evict you without due process, especially if you're disabled. Laws vary by location, but they often provide protections for tenants, particularly those who are vulnerable due to age, disability, or dependence on a caregiver. It's important to understand your rights and the specific laws in your area.
If you feel threatened with eviction, it's crucial to seek support and advice. You might reach out to local legal aid organizations, community groups, or advocacy organizations for the disabled. They can provide guidance based on your specific circumstances and may offer resources or representation to help ensure your rights are protected.
Remember, you're not alone in this situation. Many communities offer support systems for individuals facing housing issues, particularly those who are vulnerable. Maintaining open communication with your daughter and seeking mediation or counseling could also be beneficial to resolve any misunderstandings or disputes amicably.
