    Girlfriend Eviction
    My girlfriend and I moved here two years ago from our home out of state. We have both lived here for two years. She just decided that she wants me to move in two weeks.

    The original agreement was Aug 1 2009 when she returned form Texas. She decided to stay here in Oklahoma. Now said she wants me out in two weeks.

    She owns the house but we both lived here for two years. We moved here from my home in NJ . I am the only one who has been employed for the two years as she is a student who only works for two months during the summer.

    Can she legally have me removed in two weeks? What rights if any do I have?

    Her only option would be to lie to the police which I seriously think she would but who knows.

    Is there any thing I can do or any rights I have? To stay until Aug 1 or any 30 day written notice laws.

    This is not a Police matter. You did not break in.

    She has to evict you according to State law. Hopefully someone can access the site for you - I tried and all I can access is non-payment of rent questions and then the site freezes.

    Let me add a little more detail. We have been living in separate bedrooms for the past 6 months. I have been paying her monthly to continue to stay in one of the bedrooms so basically I have been renting a room from here for the past 6 months

    You are a renter basically even she can give you notice to move, and evict you in housing court, ( will take longer than 2 weeks)

    Now she can lie, tell them you hit her, or threatened her, and get a order of protection, and then police will throw you out and you will have to deal with criminal issues.

    I would just try to move if you can, and save the grief.

    Here's the law:
    OKLAHOMA Landlord and Tenant Acts

    She has to give you 30 day written notice that she wants to terminate your tenancy. Since she owns the house she is your landlord. Absent a lease with an expiration date, you are a month to month tenant.

    The Court doesn't care where anyone sleeps. If she wants you out, absent a lease, she can evict you.

    That part I understand but her telling me 2 weeks is my concern. Am I legal permitted a 30day notice or can she throw my stuff out that day and lock me out.? That's what she keeps threatening me with

    She cannot legally lock you out. I have no idea where she's getting the 2 weeks from.

    You have to evicted by legal means.

    Did you read the law that I linked to? She HAS to give you a 30 day WRITTEN notice. If she locks you out and throws your belongings out, you can call the police, show that you live there and they will force her to let you back in. You can then sue her for illegal eviction.

    Print out the law and hand it to her. Tell her you don't want to be where you aren't wanted, but you need more time and the law requires her to give you that.

    Yes I did read that thanks. Let you all know how it works out, At this point she sayd June 15 stuff out on lawn and doors locked. If she does damage my stuff out on th elawn I will call the sheriffs and request a protection order. I don't want to stay here I just need until the end of June. So I can relocate back home 1500 miles away. We are both out of state . Otherwise I will have no transportation back 1500 miles.
