    Default Evict Family Member

    My question involves an eviction in the state of: OHIO

    My parents finally got my drug addicted brother to move out of their house into his own apartment. He just got picked up for DUI this afternoon and told my parents he is not worried about paying his rent because he is saving his money for his "hot shot" attorney. Furthermore, he explained that if they don't help him with the rent he will just move back into their house because they did not formally evict him. His explanation is that since he did not change his mailing address with the post office or anyone else he is still a resident of their house.

    Please HELP!!! Does he have a leg to stand on or are my parents safe.

    Things like mailing addresses and address changes are only ONE very small part of establishing residency. If his stuff is elsewhere, he's been residing elsewhere, or the really obvious thing like paying rent to someone else has occurred, that's MORE than enough to establish that he HAS established residency elsewhere. Your parents have NO legal obligation to re-admit him to their home.

    And if he decides to push it, remind him that HE is legally obligated to change his address on things like his driver's license - usually within 10 days in most states - or else HE is looking at violations, tickets, etc. His failure to obey such laws doesn't create liability for your parents, but can result in some nifty fines for HIM.
