Re: Legally remove 21 yr old from home
Has she become a tenant? How long has she lived in your house? Does she pay any part of the mortgage, utilities or other costs? Does she pay rent to you? There are other factors as well.
If she is a 'tenant' under NJ law, then you will need to file a court action to throw her out. You will need to review the details with a lawyer to get a definite answer.
