A. 1. If your friend is on title to the house and her son is not, and 2. He is mentally compentent and not under a conservatorship, then She can serve him with a 60-day notice to vacate the premises, and on the 61st day, she can file an eviction lawsuit (called an "unlawful detainer") against him. I'm assuming he's lived in this house for more than a year, which is why a 60-day notice is needed. She does not need to give any kind of a cause or reason why she wants him gone. It's her house, she gets to say who lives there and who does not. She can evict the friends, too, for the same reason -- if they've been there less than one year, they only get 30-day notices. Unless one of the two assumptions I had at the start of the post is… [cont.]

Parents evicting an adolescent child?
Q. I am 17 years of age, and I have recently had a fight with my parents, who are trying to keep me from my fiance. They have threatened to evict me. While I am willing to leave, I am curious if it is even legal for them to evict me, since I am underage. I have searched but everything I can find says "Evicting your adult child from parents' home." My parents want whats best for me? Hardly. My father tried to kill me twice when I was younger, and when I defended myself my mother tossed me in Juvi. At 16 I was in college, would've kept going if not for getting sick due to, later I came to find, a gas leak in the house right near where I slept.

For all the stepmothers....adult step child question.?
Q. This question is for all the step mom's out there who have adult step children. My husband and I have been married for about 5 years. We each have adult children from previous marriages. His daughter is the issue. Background info for her: She's in her early 30's, has a 5 yr. old child and although she is a single parent, the father is actively involved in the child's life and does pay a hefty amount for child support. In the years I have known her she has worked very sporadically---she gets jobs and is always fired either for stealing or for anger issues. When she does work, she is capable of earning a decent income and supporting herself and her child. However, she NEVER has. Prior to our marriage, my husband basically supported this girl. [cont.]

A. Honestly, there is nothing more you can do other than reassure him that she is the lazy adult mooching off of him and it was time to cut her off. If she is going to bitch and complain, that is her problem, not his.She needs to realize her problem in this and she is not.There isn't anything anyone can do if she is not willing to realize her part. She is the one who chooses to not be in her dads life and unfortunately, that's just the way it is going to remain unless she gets a reality check. Perhaps he can write her a heartfelt letter explaining why he had to do what he did and you had no involvement in it (other than making him realize the truth) if she still doesn't accept then that is what she is making the relationship out to be.

Can you evict a pregnant women for being pregnant?
Q. This women kicked a pregnant women out for being pregnant. She told her that she didn't want children living in the home and that she had to leave. Isn't this considered discrimination. The landlord never said anything about it being an adult only building. So isn't this against the law. Also she's harassing her every day to move out because she hasn't moved out just yet. This is in New Jersey by the way. Anyone know the state rules and any links that may help?

How long does it take to evict a tenant in NJ for non-payment of rent?
Q. I am purchasing a home in Middlesex County, NJ, through a short sale. The bank agreed to the sale, but we cannot close on it due to the fact that the home is currently being occupied by tenants. The home was originally rented in April, 2007, by a woman and her adult daughter, (along with the daughter's 5 small children). Sadly, the daughter died, and now Grandma is attempting to get custody of the kids. Her last rent payment was given to the home-owner in February, and she hasn't paid a dime since. Plus, her lease expired in April, 2008, so she currently doesn't even have a lease agreement. The owner felt bad for the woman due to her situation, and let her non-payment slide up until now (Aug,08). She spoke with the woman several times,… [cont.]

A. They cannot legally demand your parents contact information, doing so is blatant harassment, they can be reported to the local housing authority for attempting to do so. As for evicting you... Is there an "At Will" clause somewhere in the contract that allows them to terminate the lease with or without cause at their leisure? If yes then they can do it, if not then take them to the housing authority. Thirdly, if the daughter is still on the lease, who she has as guests is not a concern of the landlord (even if they are her parents). She can still have you over as she sees fit. A landlord forfeits the right to say who a tenant can have as a guest. (though this will certainly cause troubles for her if she chooses to do so) As for the… [cont.]

Look for a community help line. They are set up to help people find the services they need. All too often people wait to call until the situation is in crisis and that could be avoided or lessened if they had just taken the initiative to call sooner. I do not mean to sound cold, I do care, I just want you to get the phone book out now and have the other adult make some of the calls for you. There may even be some special needs charities.

A. They are visiting w/o their parents? It sounds like babysitting to me. Children under 15 legally must be in day care after school if their parents work, so you can see how this would look like day care. It looks like you are legally responsible for them if their parents are not there as well. Unless you have a license for a day care center your manager MUST evict you or they have legal liability as well, and their insurance is not going to be helping them out any if anything happened.

Also, would they be able to come after us for the money we did not pay, and how would they do that? Would it even be worth it to them for barely $2,000? The rest is 800 a month.

A. That's a bad idea. Once you are evicted, it goes on your record and makes it very difficult to ever rent again. Additionally, it screws up your credit rating. They can give you a three day notice to pay rent or quit. After that they can begin eviction proceedings. In some locations, you could be out in a couple of weeks. Don't expect it to be the three months left on the lease. Then there is a court hearing after they start proceedings and after that, you may only have five days to get out or the sheriff will move your stuff out to the sidewalk. (And you have to pay the legal fees and the cost of the sheriff.) Not sure about Ohio, but that's how it is in many place. The time line maybe different.

A. Sounds like you are the winner of this case,since you have a lease involved, on a lease you have to post how many tenants are going to be in the home, you have the original, and who suppose to be there, if there is an extra, you can raise the rent or give the alternative to evict them, you have a winning case.That would be like if you said for EXAMPLE no PETS and they got a dog or cat, you can evict them or charge more, You are the owner and you have all the say sou's on the lease. If I were you I would give them and alternative. To pay up more money or get evicted. Remember you are holding the keys to the lease. Good luck :)
