Adult child and family won't move out despite requests
We need to get my brother and his wife and 2 kids out of my mother’s home. He is 28, she is 24 and the kids are 4 & 5. My mother begrudgingly allowed them to stay with her “temporarily” (it was supposed to be for a month) while they looked for a new apartment and they have refused to make any attempts to find another residence. It has been a year. Not only have they trashed the house during that time, but they have refused to contribute financially. He has a job and has supported them on his own before… and makes more now than he did then. He instead, spends his money on whatever he wants to including $400 worth of alcohol a month. The wife is perpetually drunk and refused to get a job insisting they can’t afford child care… so instead the kids run wild through the house destroying things.
No matter how much she bugs them about moving out, they have made it pretty clear that they have no intention and want to take the house from her along with every cent she has… they actually told her she was being selfish for wanting them out. Her stress level is through the roof and she is very depressed. She can’t bring food into her own home, she doesn’t feel safe there, she avoids her own home. It is really sad.
The only way we figure we are going to get them out is to move all there stuff to a storage unit and change the locks, but with two kids we aren’t sure if we can do that. Is that legal?
