My daughter was living with my mum for about 2-3 years. I need to rent my mums house out as I do not have an income at the moment. My daughter does not pay towards any bills for my mums house and she is registered as living with me. Does she have squatters rights? She has said to my friend she will not leave the house. What can I do? She is 18 years old.

If in the UK, your daughter does not have squatter's rights. You have to be over the age of 18, and also to have shown that the "squatter" has been resident there for the past 12 years. You can evict any squatter, as the owner of the property at any time and claim back the property.

In America your child has no rights to this house. She is living free and clear and needs to grow up pay rent or leave the premises. Here it is I think 6 months to legally kick someone out.
Hate to do this to your kid but both of you will loose the house if no income coming in and money going out. Bills have to be paid.
Good luck!

Who did the house go to in the will? That person has all decision rights. If you are the inheritor of the house, your daughter has no rights.
If there was no will, most states have laws that determine inheritors based on family status. So as the daughter, you would likely take precedent over the granddaughter. But that will have to be determined by a probate court.

Just change the locks. No lease, No rent, No rights. 12 years for squatters rights. If she is registered as living with you, just call the police and council. This is a simple answer, kick her out!

If you own the house, why can't you evict her if she is there unlawfully.
Of course, you have the family relationship to consider, and there are dynamics that only you and your daughter are aware of.
The other thing possible it to sell the house and use a small amount of the money each month to help with expenses. That will require discipline on your part.
Good luck on working this out!

Sorry to hear about your mum. Prayers to you and yours. Explain to your daughter what you just explained. Maybe she won't have a problem paying rent. Alot of people rent out rooms instead of the whole house. Convert the rooms as boarding rooms. There is alot of money in that. Good Luck!!!!

She'l have to get a full time job to pay the same as your Mother paid for the property. Everyone seems to take the view that you don't get along, this may be the case but she might be just as traumatised by the death of your dear mum as well as you, have a chat with her, the way you did as she was growing up, after all "blood is thicker than water".

Ignore all above answers. You cannot force anyone to leave a house without a formal court order of repossession. The police will not be interested. If you physically remove her, or change the locks, you commit the serious, imprisonable offence of unlawful eviction. It is dealt with very seriously by courts in the UK.
You need to consult a housing lawyer as a matter of urgency. I would also speak to the lawyer who sorted out your probate, because he should have foreseen this eventuality and you may have an action against him for negligence

No, she does not have squatter's rights; there is not such thing in these circumstances. Sorry you and her cannot get along. I would assume you will need to evict her as you would any renter. Call an attorney with legal services in your county who will not charge you. He can advise you of the correct course legally; and maybe you can make some deal with your daughter so as not to cut relations completely with her.

There is no squatters rights. Kick her butt out and rent it. Tell your daughter to to find a place and pay for it like everyone else does.
