Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

My daughter's boyfriend is being a leach, lived in my guesthouse last year, came back unwelcome though (daughter is welcome, not him). He says because he kept getting his mail at my place that I will have to spend money to evict him even though he pays nothing to me for rent (he refuses find his own place to live). Does he really have me cornered? Do I have no rights, no say as to who I share my home with?

he has no right to possession? does your daughter keep letting him in? getting mail at your address means nothing. change the locks and advise her not to let him in. it sounds like that might not work and you may need to hire an attorney anyway.

If he still refuses to leave, your remedy is an action in ejectment.
