So I live in a house that is owned (mortgaged) by my parents. A while back we let a friend and her daughter stay with us with the hopes she would find a suitable place to stay. Days turned to weeks, and weeks turned to months, and now its just been to long. In that time frame she has lost every job she got, not because she couldnt do the job, but because she is honestly lazy.
She met a guy who also didnt have a home of his own and insisted on marrying this guy. Now being the good people we are, we let him stay with her because the hopes were higher that they may find a place and move in together. Again, no such luck because he also wants to be lazy and not work.
He does have a job and he also had one when he moved in. His original job could barely support him and now they are proud parents. We helped him get a job working with my wife that pays enough to support them and get established elsewhere. Now it has gotten to the point where he is laying out of work for nonsense reasons and he is closer than he thinks to losing his job. Its their mindset however that they can just live off the government and not be bothered with working to make a living.
Over all this time, cleanliness and other house tasks on their part have hit a major brick wall. It seems like our house gets a little messier each day and its an absolute chore to get them to do anything. Tasks that if kept up with would not take much time out of anyone's day. These tasks include cleaning up after themselves, putting things back where they belong, doing their laundry, doing dishes, etc.
The girl doesnt work and is home majority of the time and spends little to no time taking care of the house or even herself. Her husband, my wife, and I all work third shift so we sleep most of the day away due to our hours. We have to spend all our time off work taking care of them like they are children.
Lately, its been like dealing with a child on a temper tantrum because she wants to yell and scream about every little thing. He on the other hand is usually calm and doesn't say much of anything. Its bad when my wife and I have to sleep with noises drowning her out, but our pets can still hear it all. They take special notice to the loud noises such as doors slamming and things being thrown causing them to bark.
If you read this far then you kind of understand our situation. At the moment they pay half of all the bills. Since my parents let us live there we split the mortgage payment. There was never an agreement signed on any of this such as what they need to pay or how long they could reside with us.
It is just now to the point that my wife and I can no longer take it, and my parents have my back in the situation. They must go and I am a little lost where to begin. From what I understand is we need to give them a notice of some sort telling them they have 30 days to leave. If it progresses past that then its time to go to the court and do the eviction process.
In all the forms I have looked at such as notice to quit or notice to vacate they talk about a lease date. There was never officially a lease signed. If I understand it right, they would technically be month to month tenants. So my next question is how do we word that or is there a different way to go about this? We need them gone as soon as possible, but we don't want to break the law to do it.
Any and all help would be appreciated.
Oh yeah I forgot to ask, if we do get the ball rolling, will they still have to be responsible for half the bills or do I have to take the brunt of that until they are gone?
