What would you do?
I live with my sister and brother in-law and we have lived together for years and they have since has a child and now my brother inlaw wants to take off our old address mark on the house and place one with the same numbering but it now says the family of ____ and his last name and not one with my last name as well because (according to him) I'm only one person-but I still pay my rent and bills associated with living in the same house-and right now I just changed jobs and I can't afford to live alone and I love my sister and her kid (not so much the husband anymore)What should I do?

And It's all of our house-It's not like it's just theirs we all pitched in for it

and with the jobs they have they couldn't afford the high motgage on this house without me -I contribute quite a bit for the luxuries we all have there.

I would probably be upset just like you are, but would probably stay put. The harsh reality is that financially it's not feasible for you to move, and you care about (most of) the people living there. At least take some time to let things settle down, then re-evaluate how you are feeling about things.

That would be his right to change the name on the address sign. With the information you have provided, it seems to be your brother-in-laws house and family. It may be your sister, but she is his wife.
Me personally, I could never live with any of the in-laws(weirdos) in my family. I'd much rather donate my body to science while still alive. Not that I have an opinion on the freaks my sisters married.
Honestly, I'd try to move in with friends. Try to find a better paying job and get a place of your own. Remember, you are in his house not your own. Be a man and stand on your own two feet.
Good Luck

Unfortunately, if it is their house you are living in, you are just a tenant and have no say over what he wants to do with the house. When you move into your own place then you can put up what ever you want, but until then that's just what it's like living in someone else's house.

Be honest here. In the end, what will it matter? You will still have the same address. The only difference is the name on the house. It is their house, so they are entitled to put their name on it.

it IS their house. you rent from THEM. You are being very petty. Maybe you need to suck it up and take a second job or find a better paying job and move to your own place, then you can put whatever sign up that you want. They are being kind by allowing you to continue to rent from them after a child was born.

i think if it is their house and you are just renting a room then he has the right to put his name .......... but if all three of you own the home then stand up for what you want out there

I'd make my own address and name sign in big bold letters and put it up. If the brother-in-law took my sign down, he can count on me taking his sign down too.
