My question involves a roommate in the State of: Indiana
A friend of my Mother started staying at her house occassionally a few years ago. Eventually she started staying more and more. She has never paid any rent, utilities or any money whatsoever to live there. She has moved her furniture into a bedroom and taken over the garage as her personal storage area. My Mother can barely fit her car in there now. This person has been staying at another location for the last month or two. Only staying with my Mother one or two nights in that period of time. My Mother would like her to move her belongings out of the house and the garage. Does she have to file an eviction even though she is not and has never been a paying renter? This person does not have a job, at least not a steady one. Mother is at her wits end and wants her out but can't afford an attorney.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Sue
