Shoot him?
you have to admit that this is a valid suggestion.
Shoot him?
One of my buddies sold his house to get rid of the rats that moved in with him.
If all else fails, consider getting yourself out of your house either by selling it or by having your landlord agree to evict you! Then, you leave and move into another place without your beloved nephew in tow!
You must live in a law book because the op has stated that he'd already taken money for rent but that's all he's gotten.I think there are some ill-informed posters who have overgeneralized anecdotal experience. This is not a situation that implicates the law of landlord and tenant. The nephew is NOT a tenant; he is not a squatter; he has not acquired any rights by prescription. He is a guest who has overstayed his welcome -- in law, a licensee turned trespasser. He is certainly not going to get any housing authority or court to order that any repairs be made, unless he reports building code violations that are visible from the exterior to the municipal government as anyone could.
As I said, in the first place, the police ought to be willing to remove him and charge him with trespassing if they are called. First, try calling the police. If they make up something about the nephew receiving mail or claim that he is entitled to reside in the trailer on the basis of some inertial theory of property rights, try calling the local prosecutor's office. If the authorities are not willing to help (because prosecuting and removing trespassers is not a high priority for them, even if they say something bogus), an ejectment action would likely be simple and inexpensive, rather unlike the landlord-tenant eviction experiences that other posters are describing.
Everything I have said was my informed gut reaction to the fact pattern presented, but I confirmed my reaction based on what is generally the case in American law by researching Florida law before writing my first post. To those who are inclined to write more anecdotal nonsense: look up "tenancy."
First off i am on disability due to various health problems..I had my 42 YO Nephew move in with me on August 15th 2011. He had a good business selling military memorabilia on the internet that started to tank due to the economy.He has been divorced for 2 years from a 16 year marriage. I knew he had a problem with the bottle in the past..I own a mobile home and my lot rent is only 300 dollars.My expenses are not huge just for me.I took him in because he could no other place to go.He is my oldest brothers son who is no longer with us.To the point,he has not worked since he moved in, he drinks in his bedroom and is a habitual liar.I knew i couldnt get him out by the police because he receives mail here.In one our view arguments i mentioned i'd call the police to get him out and he said i couldnt, i knew that i just wanted to see if he'd use that answer,which he did..Does anyone have any suggestions ?
