Yopu should have asked that she pay rent directly to you, and then you should have made the mortgage payments yourself.
Make an appointment with a landlord/tenant attorney and discuss your options with them.

you have to give her an eviction notice....usually a 7 day for non payment which is extremley cheap to file... since she has "squaters rights" meaning there may be no lease, but she has had mail coming there for more than 30 days.... as far as filing charges, call the local post office, and ask for the postmaster general... he/she will be able to tell you that.... and as for forclosure, contact the mortage company, and see what they will do for you, you might have to re-finance with a different company, but that should put a hold on it

Ouch. You need to bring an eviction action in your local JP or small claims court. Also, file a complaint against her with the real estate licensing agency in your state. Her days as a real estate agent are numbered.

Call her boss (broker) and cause her some grief.
Also go to the property's home state website and check your landlord tenant laws because even though you may not have had anything in writing, you cant take just any action that you want. It may be assumed she had a verbal contract since you let her stay there 1.5 years. Hurry!!!!!

Well, if you have no written document, it's your word against hers. You can still file charges. Just have to see what you can get out of her. I believe you signed the loan document, so you are still responsible for the loan payment. What a mess. Talk to the loan company, pay them something and see if they will stop the foreclosure process.

You are a tool of the fool school.
Never trust others for major financial decisions or payments. The fact that you allowed anyone - friend, employee, agent, etc.- to do this for you speaks to your naivitee.
I hope you enjoy the legal hell that you are about to go through because you trusted someone who failed you.

Call the police and file a report that she is tampering with your mail, it is a felony. She will lose her real estate license and go to jail. I think that is a fair trade for her losing your house.

You can take them to a small claims court or go on TV with one of those Judge shows and work it out that way. But be prepared to loose a friend.
