I had someone answer our roommate ad (i am the owner) she needed a place bad but weonly told her she can stay in a different "extra" room until she found a place (I basically helped a homeless person) by 7 days she wanted out and we wanted her out too. we gave her until may 26 (over 30 days to find a new place) no money taken, no application, nothing. now she says she can not leave (she has no money) now she is threatened to report us for things she see that are unfit or legal (we have insurance etc) (that is a different topic) we are in california, can we remove her items from our house (at least to the driveway) w/o doing something illegal? please help. she is making us crazy ps she has not paid her car insurance/registration/smog etc (can i have her car towed from our driveway?)
If she has never paid you any rent, never signed any paperwork, and you asked her to leave, you can remove her belongings from your propery. She has no legal claims here and cannot do anything to you. She was invited as a guest and has overstayed her welcome. Just be careful and make sure she is there when you remove her belongings to the driveway. She can sue you if her possessions turn up missing.
P.S. You may want to call the police and ask them if they have an officer who will be available as a witness when you do this.
In alotta states, her car will be impounded by the state. Does she have a lein on the car? Call them and tell them where to find it! No sense holding onto this kind of cr@p! Am I too insensative?
No, CR, you are not being too insensitive at all! I think that is a great idea. Acctggirl is the unfortunate victim of a scam artist. They prey on kind hearted people.
Acctggirl, get as many witnesses as possible when you throw her out on the street. Make sure that she cannot claim that you took anything of hers and that you allowed someone to steal from her.
acctggirl, I would never lecture you on being too nice. You did a nice thing and this woman is taking advantage of you. I am amending my first post to tell you to put her possessions next to her car or on the curb off your property. If you can't get the police to witness this when you do it, get the officer's name that you have told your story to. Then, get as many people as you can to be your witnesses. If she refuses to pack up her car and leave, then call the police and tell them she is trespassing and refuses to leave your property. They will come out then. Don't let her try to con them. Be prepared for this woman to claim that she is a renter who has paid. Tell them what you have told us, give them the officer's name who you first spoke to about it and your conversation with him/her, and ask them to ask her for a receipt or a rental agreement. Since she doesn't have anything to back up her claim, they will force her to leave.
thank you thank you Ruby Pitbull, please wish us luck. may 26 is the deadline that we gave her. I am also afraid of her. I have to lock myself in my room when I am home. In my own home!
I will let you all know of the outcome next weekend! prayers and crossed fingers and eyes welcome! p.s. is she considered a tenant? ps she has a massive amoun of boxes, she keeps piling up and piling up when we are not home. so this move will take hours!! this is a very big house in l.a. so she must think we have money or something.
I am so sorry you are scared. No, she is not considered a tenant if she has never paid you. As I said, she is a guest in your home that has overstayed her welcome. Frankly, I wouldn't wait until the 26th at this point if she is continuing to move her possessions in. I think you should call the police now and tell them your situation and ask them if she can be removed as a trespasser. If you are fearing for your safety, that is a huge concern. You shouldn't be living like a prisoner in your own house. If the police are of no help, contact a real estate attorney. Usually the initial consultation is free. It will be well worth the money for whatever advice they can give to you, and if he/she calls the police and request they remove her for trespassing.
