Re: house rent

If you don't have a lease and are not paying rent, then you may have a right to delay their getting you to move out, but you don't get to stay in someone else's home for free forever. It sounds like you would be better off cooperating with them so that you have a better chance of leaving on better terms and with a little bit of control over when you go; otherwise, it sounds like they will eventually have a sheriff move you out.
