[QUOTE="JackBeNimble, post: 657563, member: 18998"] The problem with letting someone live with you is getting them to leave. If they don't want to leave then you have to give them a written notice like you would a renter. She could end up staying for months and if you force her out of your house you can be arrested. At this point she has as much legal right to staying in your house as you do. I would get her to agree with renting an apartment and tell her you will help her with the rent. Explain to her she that she could get a taste of her own independence. You may have difficulty getting a lease if she doesn't have a job but in no way should you ever think about co-signing the lease. Understand that she is a nineteen year old and she's not a child. My brother just went through the same thing and he ended up having to move just to get rid of his 40 year old daughter who decided she didn't like working for a living. I warned him not to let her move in with him and his girlfriend but he did it anyway and then he went through the hell of trying to get her out. It got to the point where the girlfriend said she wasn't putting up with her anymore and if his daughter didn't leave that she would leave. He soon found out that it wasn't that easy to get her out. He ended up getting another place without her knowledge and while his daughter was out one day he moved. He put her stuff in temporary storage and told her she had thirty days to pick it up. It was an unfortunate and avoidable situation but being nice isn't always the best option. Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
