daughters boyfriend refuses to leave her home. by Debra (New York (upstate)) on January 29, 2012 @12:25

Daughter single parent, moved in boyfriend, for 8 months has only paid a handful of times. He pays by the week, claims because he cleans and fixes things around the house that he shouldn't have to pay and that he isn't going to help her pay her bills off. He built a nice shed on her property and she also loaned him money for a motorcycle and has yet to pay her back. She also bought him a cell phone and put him on her plan as he is suppose to give her money for that as well but doesn't. She has given him a 30 day notice and what we want to know is, does she have the right to keep the shed for all the back rent? As for the motorcycle, the title is in her name. We need help and fast as his 30 days is up in 1 week and he is looking for any loope holes he can find as to not give my daughter a dam thing. What is her legal rights?

If the shed is portable, let him take it if he wants, so you can be rid of him. If it not portable, it is part of the property and remains. Motorcycle is hers, as proven by the name on the title.

This may be more complicated than it appears. If the BF has paid anything then he has contributed to the mortgage and he has improved the property. He may even claim they are common law. A man can not be evicted from his own home. The guy really does not owe your daughter anything because he is not a renter. He is just a deadbeat.

First... common law was abolished long ago. No such thing any more. I think she is going to have to evict for 'hold over' I think she is going to have to treat him the same way you would any tenant. Skip all the issues with he said, she said. She gave him a proper 30 day notice...now it is just a case of 'hold over' if he doesn't go. She goes to the county/city court and files the eviction for hold-over on Feb 1st. simple as that. Then a judge decides the rest. The bike? it is hers. She should probably sell it to get her money back. The shed stays with the property if it is site built..if it is a portable (little metal thing), then have him take it.

Cancel the cell phone. Is the shed on a permanent foundation? Then it should stay. He can take her to court if he wants it. If he has at all hit her or threatened her, she should go to the police and take out a restraining order against him, so he won't be able to be near her.

I second what others have said, including the part about canceling the phone. She should cancel that ASAP before he upgrades it (or breaks the phone and just wants a replacement) and she is stuck having to pay for another contract! And if he is on any of her bank accounts, she will not need his permission to close the accounts, so I suggest doing that, too. I learned this the HARD way.

Tell your daughter to get an attorney. Sounds like she would be better off with an attorney than with a stolen bike, etc.
