Most teenagers are not prepared for the real world yet. I wasn't. I went to university away from home but home every weekend the first 2 years. After 3rd year I moved in with bf. I was 21. My parents didn't want me to though.
If your teen is over 18 make him/her either pay you rent or abide by your rules (the same you had when he/she was 15). Tell him/her that if he/she wants to continue to live off you like a kid then you will treat him/her like a kid.

First what age are they? If the child is under 18 in some states you can go to jail for neglect or abandonment. If they are over 18, you need to sit down and talk to them and see what they are gonna do with their life, not what they wanna do because wants are different from gonna's. Make sure they have enough money to make it on their own for the first couple of months, help them out the best way you know how. You don't want them to feel like a burden to you but you want them to feel like they are an adult and you care about them.

Military Time!!!!! 18 -19 When they get to grown to follow rules and they don't have the means to take care of themselves!!!! But do this in love because as they grow older you still miss them and Love having them around!!!! Also college or find a job so that they can afford an apartment!!!! Teenagers once 18 don't like to follow rules and when it gets like that its time for the little birdies to leave the nest!!!!

I've never tried, I enjoy having my kids around and when they are ready to leave they leave, but they always know they can come home again. I figure there will be the rest of my life I will have living without them when they are completely on their own, why rush it? But when they are out of high school and still living at home, they are expected to have a job and / or continue their education, and to put away a good amount of what they make (after whatever expenses they have to pay for, such as their car, insurance, clothing, personal items, education expenses, health insurance, etc.) in some sort of savings account for their future (apt, house, continued education, that sort of stuff) and they are expected to help out around the house and continue to follow house rules. Works for us.

Im concerned that you said teenager,how old? If the teen is 18 and alegal adult approach him/her with its time for you to figure out life on your own. But please make sure they are ready financially, offer help in finding a place, buy them a house warming gift, help them move,be supportive and encouraging but if this teen is under 18 then you need to talk about the problems your having because there obviously is one.
