Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: Unwanted guest in house

You really want to sit down with a lawyer, and get some advice. You want to know whether you have created a landlord (you) and tenant (her) relationship or not. It would be bad if you have, and you need to know this before acting. There are big penalties for violating landlord-tenant law.

If she is not legally considered a 'tenant' then you will be able to throw her out short and sweet.

Go see a lawyer. Come see me!

Re: Unwanted guest in house

Since she is a guest and not a tenant she is now trespassing. You can call the police and ask them to remove her.

I would think that you can get her to move by warning her of what you will do. I hope that your sister will react peaceably to this information.

Call me if you like.

If she pays rent, you have to evict her. If she doesn't, just call the police.
