    How to Protect Your Privacy and Belongings from Your Housemates
    My question involves real estate located in the State of: California

    There are multiple families renting different parts of the house, but one of the families children, and even sometimes the mother ends up in my part of the house. The kids will run through my hallway and make my kids leave their own rooms. The mother will eat out of my fridge, and tell my kids to move to a different room, even if it's their own bedroom, while they are trying to sleep so that her kids can play. She also does not let anyone go upstairs, where she is renting, even if her kids invite my daughters up there. Please tell me I have rights against this.

    How old are the kids? What is mom's explanation for sometimes being in 'your part' of the house? What did your landlord suggest when you discussed the problem with him?

    How do they make your kids do anything?

    If the hallways are common areas, one of the issues you will face in living in shared housing is that you won't always like what other residents do in the common areas.

    The mother will eat out of my fridge....

    You have separate kitchens and appliances?

    What you appear to be stating here is that her kids are engaged in normal activity and, when you complain that your kids can't sleep, she suggests that you move them to a quieter part of the house. Is that about right?

    Are you complaining that she doesn't respect your privacy, or are you complaining that your kids aren't allowed to disrespect hers?

    Only a practical one: Find yourself another place to live and move where you don't have housemates or roommates.
