Family member is threating to kick me out!
HI!!
I was browsing the internet and came across this website, and thought that it might help with my dilemma: I currently live with a family member and she is threating to kick me out!! We did not set up a written agreement such as lease, but yet a verbal one, in which I would pay her $200 dollars a month. Till this day I have given her $200 a month on top of other monies for other utilities (such as late water and light bills). It is absurd!! Its not like she can legally kick me out or can she?! I mean I pay rent and receive mail there, that makes me a resident of her household right?! I was also thinking about just giving her money orders (instead of cash, up front) from now on, just in case she does try to get the authorities in on this or try to take me to court on the matter... is this a good idea?! I think so... because by doing this I will have some form of written documentation and proof, verses that he say, she say stuff!! COMMENTS and IDEAS are much appreciated on this dispute!!
