I WANT YOU TO GET OUT!
Greetings:
Much of what I'm writing about is having to do with laws of Tennessee, but however these laws may differ where you live. When one wants someone out of their home here where I live, they just can't just throw them out at the moment of thought! There are guidelines that have to be followed. Usually, it starts with a notification to the person living in your residency of at least 30 days prior. Then that's followed by an eviction. Rules also state, if the person has been staying with you for more than 30 days, he or she is considered a valid occupant of the said resident. Another rule states that if the resident receives any mail post marked to that address while living there confirms them as being legally valid to claim the home as their place of residency. So just putting them out without notice can lead to a legal battle in a real court. In fact, law enforces you cannot just put them out. It's not as easy to want them out without a fight, unless they are all to willing to leave.
If you are the property owner you have to give them a valid notice. In other words the law protects the resident, legal or non-legal if they are living with you for over a period of 30 days. Even if they live with you a week, you must be sure they do not over stay longer than that. This has affected many residents where I live, when they have wanted to kick someone out the house! They can stay!
Writing all this is to inform you if you are living/shacking or allowing someone to live with you; take the necessary steps to prevent them over staying their visit. Especially if you are making an initial or verbal agreement. Surprizingly, you might be in a battle of your home and space, and in for a lot of drama. Think about it before you move in with someone too, little clues can lead to big headaches. You want to be protected in both ways as the residence owner and as the tenant....Before you know it they may say it : I WANT YOU TO GET OUT!
Like I said, laws may vary where you live, but it doesn't hurt to know what they are so you can protect your home and yourself.

Jeremy thanks for dropping in on the blog!
Irma, people like that know the rules of renting and the are abusive! Which makes it much harder on others who really find it hard to pay their rent thus leading to being evicted not knowing their rights. Confusing it is, but I think it's something everyone should know before moving in, out and being thrown out into the street. Married couples do have a much easier time you're right that unmarried. So I advice anyone who is shacking to think twice about having someone move in, and also moving in with your unmarried partner. Just be careful... if you break up and guard your rights of property too!
