Communicate with him. Can he afford to move out? If you evicted him where would he live?

There’s enough jobs going in the service industries at the moment that that shouldn’t be too much of a problem.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.2 -
But those jobs will pay minimum wage and be zero hour contracts. Not much chance of affording to rent anywhere.0

This is one of the irritating threads where an OP gives very little detail then never returns! Common courtesy would be to at least thank people who take time to respond.4

She is working average 60hr weeks (and has access to unlimited overtime). She's managed to pay for driving lessons, bought a reasonably nice car, pays to run the car, lives in a shared house and is saving money every month. Zero help from parents.
She also lives in one of the most expensive areas in the UK (her room is £800 per month).
I don't agree with your perspective, other than illness or disability there is no excuse.4 -
Exodi said:T.T.D said:You tell him he has a date to be out by.Leave the number for the councils homelessness team and then give him a text with the housing register link and and number and tell him to get that done before the day he need be out.
You then withdraw all financial support and support to sustain his lifestyle.
While it's very kind of you to refer him to the councils homelessness team, a young single man in employment with no disabilities and no dependencies will stand approximately zero chance of being housed.
It would be more pragmatic to offer help with financing the deposit, or acting as a guarantor, than just leaving the council to deal with it.
While it's of course convenient for adult children to live at home (and the parents don't help themselves by subsidising it and waiting on them hand and foot), it can be just as exciting fleeing the nest, gaining his freedom and being able to do what he wants when he wants (this should be an easy sell - it also helps with relationships). You just need to motivate them.
Someone else said throw him with his bags on the street you don’t take offence to that but you take offence to my post.
You also cut out the bit where I advise if there’s issues going they should find other forms of avenues to sort them. That part doesn’t suit your need to target my post so you omitted it.
OP asked a question and I answered. I don’t need your input on how offended you feel and that this is how I should have approached with my advice, now or in the future.1 -

They may. Or the son may be highly more qualified, in an area of low unemployment and in a position to earn a decent wage if he chose to do so.
It's all just guesswork.
Either way, a 25 year old with no additional needs shouldn't be doing minimal work, living off family and declining to pay anything towards his keep. Taking the OPs post at face value.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
