[QUOTE="keista, post: 475741, member: 11965"] Hi, welcome, and sorry you have to be here. What state are you in? is he paying rent? Have you specifically looked up "squatter's rights" in your locality - could be county and not necessarily state - to be sure he does get 30 days? If he does, send him a certified, return receipt written notice. Make sure he has to sign for it personally - do not allow "agent signature". This will legally start your timeline. Since it sounds like he won't listen anyway, you can start formal eviction proceedings. If you find out that he really isn't entitled to such notice, be prepared for him to leave the house, and when he does, pack up his stuff, put it on the curb, and change the locks. In the meantime? Don't allow him access to your computer. Got cable with a box? Password protect it. Does he contribute to the food budget? No? Get locks for the fridge and pantry cabinets. He can eat with the family at mealtimes and that's it. He want's to eat all night long? He can provide his own food for that. JUST an FYI, I am not in your shoes, nor have I ever been. However I have had some horrid roommates that I have had to kick out using drastic measures - it's just never been a family member, nor my own child. Others will be along to provide their input. You may want to re-post this on the 'Parent Emeritus' Forum. Over there, you will find more parents who are or have been in similar situations and can give you more detailed advice and insights. Welcome again. [/QUOTE]
