Hi,
I own my home and live there. I invited a friend and his girlfriend to move in with me because they were homeless and I had the room. There was no lease or rental agreement signed and they have never had jobs, never paid rent or utilities. Yes, I am aware I created and encouraged this situation, but now I need some help.
They have lived with me for a year & a half. The girlfriend has become erratic, threatening, destroyed one piece of my property and after an argument, she sent me a text message saying that they were moving in 60 days. So,
1. Is the text valid, legal notice?
2. Are they tenants or lodgers, guests, squatters?
3. Am I required to give them legal notice that I want them out of my house?
4. Do I have to go through and eviction or can I consider them trespassers now? Because I want them out of my house.
5. I have threatened to evict them, but that is all.
6. The girlfriend also has legal issues and has begun to engage in financial fraud.
I appreciate any/all help and advice. I need them gone quickly. Every day, when I go to work, I wonder what kind of shape my house will be in when I return.
Thanks.
