Eviction help please

I_know_my_ABC_and_my_CMYK

Is it possible to evict my son from my house? Hes abusive all the time he opens my mail so he knows whats going on, he has now started throwing things at me and i want him out. I own the property he pays no rent as hes a university student and drinks all day at his computer, he only has 2 afternoon classses a week.

So, can someone please help me to get him out as I can't cope any longer.

Thankyou

If your son is not a named tenant or joint owner, then he is no more than a guest in your house and has no security of tenure.

If its anything like evicting a lodger (also known as excluded occupier) who also have little protection from eviction, you give them reasonable notice and then if they don't leave, you change the locks when they are out and call the police if they try to re-enter.

Tell your son to contact the local council housing department to complete a homeless application because you are chucking him out on x date. See the Shelter website to understand how the council will treat his application.

For any threats or violence you experience in the meantime, call the Police.

Perhaps its best if you serve the notice in writing and keep a copy in case he denies receiving it and tries to persuade the police to let him back in (what do other forum members think?)

Poor you. You don't have to put up with this and 'yes' you can most certainly throw him out. He's an adult and you have no obligation to put a roof over his head. Do you have other family members or close friends that you can talk to and who can provide you with moral and physical support?
You should seek legal advice. Contact a solicitor or citizens advice bureau immediately - i.e. tomorrow. I don't know how old you are, but there is an organisation called Action on Elder Abuse which provides support and advice for elderly people who being abused. I'm not sure about the rules on posting telephone numbers and links on this site, but I will PM contact information to you. If he is physically atacking you, you can call the police. I realsie that you might not want to go down that route, but your son has crossed the line and his behaviour is totally unacceptable - your priority must now be to protect yourself and to regain some degree of peace of mind.
What you have described is abuse, pure and simple, and nobody, not even your own child (especially not your own child) has the right to do that to you.

Yes, you can evict him - but follow the legal process..

It could be a final break of any relationship, but I guess you knew that..

Good luck, hope it works out for both of you...

Cheers!

Saddens me to read this, i feel for you. Best of luck and i hope you get the peace you deserve.

If he is throwing stuff at you in your shoes I'd seriously consider advising the Police of what is going on...

Hope it works out
