I have lived with my girlfriend for eight years.

The house is in her name, and I pay her a monthy rent, plus half of utilites and other such expenses.

She is also a student, and I have loaned her significant ammounts of money over the past four years, to help with her school expenses.

Furthermore, I have on at least three occasions I have given her money above and beyond my share of the household expenses to help her pay the mortgage. (she would have lost the house and have been evicted herself several times over without my help) (she is a rather irresponsible money manager)

She just gave me a notice that she wants to evict me. (relationship issues)

Though in the past, I have made a decent living, I have been laid off from my job, and currently work about sixty hours per week at menial jobs to make a little money to help her pay her bills and pay for food and such.

Unfortunately, these menial jobs are not going to add up to enough to rent an apartment for myself. (the cost of living here, and apartment rental rates are very high)

According to the notice, I have to go to a hearing regarding the issue in just three weeks. It is simply not possible for me to move out this quickly. I would literally wind up "homeless". And alas, I simply have no where else to go.

Given that she owes me an amount of money that would cover my share of the rent for around a year, can she evict me?

Attempting to get her to repay me would be futile, as she is, as usual, "broke".

Unfortunately, our agreement is not in writing.

I do however have reciepts to prove all of the money that I have paid.

To top it all off, she has "biker" relatives who have threatened me with violence if I am not out of here in three weeks.

Help!

I'm sorry about your situation. It doesn't look good because I don't think you have any right to stay in that place since your name is not in the mortgage or title. If I were you I would consult an attorney (a friend or whatever). Maybe you can get the money back if you have receipts for the rent. But in terms of staying in the apt. I'm not sure. I think people become "domestic partners" if they live together after a certain amount of years (10?). Then they have some rights. You're best to check with a lawyer. Good luck!

If you have all the receipts, your best option is to move the hell out of that place, find something to do FAST so that you can fix your own financial situation... and to top it all off GIVE HER UP TO A COLLECTION AGENCY.

Those guys don't give a flying , they will herass the hell out of her until you get your money back. Plus her credit will turn to for 7 consecutive years, unless it is already. Revenge is sweet.

Don't wastte time with the domestic partner bull, she'd rather have her biker relatives kick your and deny everything. If she sounds like a , she ought to get treated like one. NO MERCY.
