Can I legally have this person evicted?

Long story short:

My brother (who I will wind up taking to court for another reason) just mved one of his ladyfriends into his apartment.  Very long story how she got here, but she is here.

This is the same woman he threatened to move in "to help out with his expenses".  At the time I told him no she could not live here...but now she is here.

Being I own half this home and he owns the other half, can I have this woman evicted? Very long story why I want her out of here.


Re: Can I legally have this person evicted?

  • You'll have to talk to a lawyer. I really don't think you can. At the end, he still owns 50% split down the middle so he can move her in.
  • I don't think you can have her evicted. Any chance something will get paid now? That would be a positive outcome.

    Haha, something will get paid.

    I am about ready to tear my hear out and have my eyebrows, eyelashes and nose hairs follow, in regard to that..

    Why should she pay anything to "help" him??? this is not her house and for starters, when she first lived there 9 years ago, almost 10, SHE was the one who paid all the utilities and everything else, because bro could not do it. And that was starting the second she moved in.

    Wow, how stupid are some women? I'd have moved my ass out the door the second I found out this guy more or less would have me there as a cash cow.
  • Well, she's a moron. I'm sure you have your reasons for not wanting her there, but I really wouldn't worry about her stupidity. Take whatever you can get, you're certainly not getting a dime from him!
  • Since he's a 50% owner, I highly doubt you can force her eviction.

    But I'd consult with a lawyer.  If there is a history of violence against you (on her part), or something like that, you might be able to do it.
  • If I were you I would give up on living in this house myself. Seems to be giving you nothing but stress. There must be somewhere more affordable for you to live and not have to deal with your bro's bs. Let him really feel the effect of his financial irresponsibility. 
  • I'm not sure you have any grounds to evict her.  I am not sure what your reasons are for not wanting her there but you can always go the legal route if this has something to do with violence or criminal acts.  If she wants to be a cash cow that's her stupidity - I would think her dishing out money would benefit you if your name is on this place with him.  I feel for you though because it really sucks when you have to be in such close quarters with someone who you can't stand.  Good Luck Tarpon.

    This. I think if you were giving advice to someone else on The Nest, you would tell them to run far, far away from this situation. Peace of mind is worth more than money IMO.
