How do you get 2 deadbeats out of your house?

Question

Goal: To get my older brother and wife out of my house

Scoop: Own home with my twin brother, went to LA for a year, twin brother called a week after he allowed older brother and his wife to move in. Came back, twin moved out of town to renovate this house. Older brother has violent tendancies and can be very intimidating and violent when angered. They don't pay a single bill, wife stays home smoking and watching TV all day and is a complete pack rat. They bought a house down the street but it's in renovation mode and they have said they don't know when it will be ready. Older brother's wife also said she can't make it down the driveway because the state of it makes her fybramialgia (sp) flare up and its painful.

The Rub: I really believe if I approach an eviction or a drop dead move out date that it will create a rift in the family and more importantly, older brother will become violent. I think he could indeed kill. Yuck. Any thoughts about how to get them out. Thanks

Answer 1

Tell your parents about the problem. If they won't or can't help start eviction procedings, but, first videotape the house inside and out. Hold up a dated newspaper in front of the camcorder before you start to have proof of date(dates on camcorders can be changed) and never turn off the camera while your taping. Next move out until the eviction procedure is over. Go stay with a friend or a relative. Stay at a hotel if you have to, just don't stay there. If they wreck the place while your gone sue their butts. You have the tape as proof. Oh, I forgot, videotape with the same procedure after they are out. Get a lawyer if you need to. I'm a income property owner and I've been through this. As for a rift in the family, avoid it by going to the family gossip first and getting them on your side. If it's anything like my family all will know everything before the sun sets.

Answer 2

I am running under the assumption you are in fear for your life or someone elses.

If anything is going to cause a rift in the family, I would think it would be the homicidal brother.

Can you make it unbearable for them to live there? In a way that is not your fault?

You will have to suffer- but an Idea comes to mind- stench.

We poisoned rats in our house exactly like you are NOT supposing to.

The results were rotting rats in the walls.
2 weeks of horrible stench. It was only in our bedroom walls, we had to sleep with the window open in the dead of winter.

We had lemon stickups covered on the walls.. a nightmare I tell you.

1.) Do what you can to make their "renovation" house semi- livable" call it a "gift" to them.. Dishes, sheets, a spare bed.

2.)Make your house unlivable. Power goes off. Water goes off, stench in the house, if it's too hot or too cold- then no heater or no air conditioner.

If they are not paying for bills- they certainly are not going to pay to have these things corrected if they think that you are behind on your bills.

Call the power company and tell them to put a password on the account to insure no one but you has access to the account no matter how much they know about you- and then have them cut the power.

Tell him there are problems with the billing department at the power company- he wont' know the difference because he's not allowed on the account. You have NO idea what is going on- you paid the bill- but for some reason you can't get it sorted out.


Once you get them out of the house- do something to make sure they can't move back in- fill the rooms with boxes- make it again- no room to live... once they get settled in the other house, you can move the stuff out.

I know this is not a perfect plan- but maybe it will give you an idea.

Answer 3

it all depends on the state youre in. some states if a person resides in youre home for longer thatn 30 days you cant evict them and they have as much right to be thre as you. unfortanutly you might have to wait it out. just try to avoid them and tell them they have a cretain date to beout. try the buffalo method inother words lie and tell them that is the date they have to leave. if he gets violent then that gives you more tos how the courts you want them out.check you youre tate and see what the laws are.

Answer 4

Talk to the people working on their home and get a date from them and then tell brother he needs to start packing because you are planning on doing repairs, new roof, windows, driveway, etc. New plumbing and electrical gives you an excuse to shut off the water and electric.

Answer 5

No no, some people just have to be told the truth but just to be sure i would A. go buy a gun if you say he would kill and then talk to him while my gun is in my pocket like this, Bob where going to have a chat to night so dont go to bed early...... then you as Dave

Bob, no bull sh.ting anymore whats going to happen with your home im getting tired of having you here, you dont do **** your wife just smokes and pollutes my home, shes lazy.. im telling you the truth im talking to you man to man no BS if you dont like this lets step out side and handle this like little kids if that what you want to do? ill ******** call mama and/or pops and tell him what your doing bro.. this is BS man your pushing me around as if i was 13 wtf is your problem , HEY No, Look at Me Bob LOOK AT ME... i cant take this any more im no longer DAVEY anymore im a grown as.s man and you should be too ........

Or JUST COMPLAIN TO MAMA ......... she'll knock his as.s out that is if shes still around..........Just think...........

Answer 6

You need to sound offensive. If you try to be high-quality, he/she is going to ALWAYS push you round. You need to lead them to make a determination, both get a role or depart...and supply him a time line, say two weeks. Trust me, I realize this works! Seen it commonly. It might piss them off to start with, however they are going to be greater for it.

Answer 7

Its going to cause a rift any way you go. Just start talking about him/them getting their own place. Hopefullly they will get the hint before it gets to squirrley.

Answer 8

you're going to have to get tough. sit them down and tell them how it is - sorry but you guys are going to have to start paying your way or find somewhere else. give them 30 days.

I didn't say it was going to be easy.

Answer 9

calmly approach him help him get goals and achievements/financial therapy to get him back on track. more: / importantly new house. evn more imp. out of urs.

Answer 10

Fleas? They'd make me run for the hills!!!!!
