My roommate has moved out at my request. Who besides her do I have to allow back in my home to get all of her things. I own my home and only allowed her to stay because she had no other place to go. I've told her the only people I will allow in are her and or her mother and sister. Am I within my rights or can she just bring anyone to help her get her belongings. I live in Pennsylvania.

You are within your rights.

You don't have to let anyone in. But you have to return the belongings. So how she gets them (including who carries them out) is subject to your approval.

If there is heavy furniture involved and the three of them can't handle it, you should be reasonable and allow someone you are OK with.
