I have lived in a house with my grandmother and my mother for my whole life, 26 years. The past 4 years my son and husbdand and newborn are living here as well. My grandma has sole ownership of the house and is deathly afraid of my mother . My mother hates my husband and wants us to move out. I was wondering if there is any laws in NY regarding a lifelong family member living in the house. We have agreed to pay 100 a week to live here and my grandma won't take it but with my mother scaring and threatening my grandma all the time I'm worried we will be told to leave soon. We can't quite afford our own place and I'm afraid to take chances with a new baby and a 4 year old. I just don't know what the laws are, eviction wise can my grandmother be forced t kick us out? If so could we take her to court for anything afterwards? We are at a loss. I don't know what to do at this point.

The owner of the house can evict you if there is no written lease with a 30 to 60 day notice.

But to be honest, you got married and had two kids without ever leaving home?

First, it doesn't matter how long you have lived there. Your grandmother owns the house and can choose who continues to live there or not.

If she decides you need to leave, whether coerced or not, you leave. If you think you think you can't afford a place of your own now, imagine how much harder it will be with an eviction on your record. So you do NOT want to force grandma to evict you.

If you can't "quite afford" your own place, why did you have another baby? It would seem to me that, given the living situation, you would want to get your own place before increasing the size of your family.

My grandma doesn't want us to leave, my mother wants us out and is quite the elderly abuser if you understand. She's intimidating, and I didn't just make another baby, it happened and I myself am anti abortion. Please don't respond to me, you are not correct in your answer, not your comment on making another baby when I can't "quite afford" to live on my own. I can take care of my grandma while my mother just ponges, so maybe I didn't really explain my whole situation tooo well,

And not to explainf myself to you but I had a child with someone who turned out to be an abuser of drugs, myself and my infant so I left. Back home with one child I met a mand we eventually married and had another unplanned but very wecomed baby. We are looking to move out but also looking to take care of my elderly grandmother who is intimidated and robbed by my mother. I don't agree with you or your response either, {personal attack removed}

First, you have every right to disagree with or ignore our answers, either in full or in part. What you are not allowed to do respond with insults, personal attacks and vulgarity.

However, our answers were correct according to the law. Your grandmother owns the house. She can get an eviction order against you. If she does you will have to leave. Those are legal facts and no one else can tell you different.

It does not matter that grandma doesn't want you out if she succumbs to your mother's coercion and signs the paperwork. That is also legal facts.

Maybe you should be the one convincing grandma to evict your mother.

As for the comment about having a baby. If you were using contraception and still conceived, then I apologize. But if you were not protecting against pregnancy, then you didn't plan well.

We are also entitled to our opinions and when someone tells me they have a newborn, but can't afford to have their own place, alarm bells go off.

First I guess from the legal side, having the children is not a issue, but I just see this time and time again. If you and your husband had great jobs, was working and lost their jobs, and had to move in with mom or dad that is one thing,

But I am sorry, having children, gettig with someone that has to move in with you, is not a plan.
And normally my tax dollars go to pay for welfare and assistance for these types of people, and to be honest, just one issue I think is so wrong.

But back to the legal issue, if you do't own the house, if you don't have a lease, you can be evicted anytime the home owners want to evict you, with a maximum of a 30 day notice

First, you can not dictate who can and can't respond to a thread. This is a public forum and anyone can respond as long as they adhere to the rules of this site.

Second, One does not have to be a lawyer to know the law. A lawyer might see a layman's writing and know they aren't a lawyer, but that doesn't mean what they said was legally wrong. I find it interesting that you only used that comment from this lawyer. I'm more interested in whether he disagreed with what we said were the legal facts. Did he?
