    Default How to Evict A Member of Your Family

    My question involves an eviction in the state of: Ohio
    My parents have been trying to get my brother to move out of their house for over a year. They have now given him a deadline which is quickly approaching. They're concerned that when the date approaches he will say they need to formally evict him. Considering that he has nevered paid my parents a single penny would this be a concern? If so how would they go about evicting him. My father is concerned he may become violent.

    If there is no written lease, you can argue that it's a month to month tenancy.

    Was he given a 30 day notice to vacate? If so, they can proceed with a 3 day notice, followed by the formal proceedings. Contact the clerk of courts in your county for instructions and forms.

    If he should become violent, call the police and have him arrested.

    Would he even be considered a tenant? This is their child that has never moved out of their house. Can't they just tell him to pack his bags and hit the road?

    It doesn't matter that he never paid a dime in his life or signed a lease - if that's where he's living, keeping his stuff, getting mail, he has a key, etc. - then the law is going to consider that his place of residence and therefore he has automatic rights. It would be the same if you let some stranger move into your place for a while (we see that scenario here all the time too) - once they're in and established, they're your tenant, you're their landlord, and the way to get them out is to follow the eviction process.
