After they graduate high school. If they decide to stay with their parents they have to be going to school because as a parent you would want your child to focus all their energies on getting a career together to get a great start in the world. If they decide to stay home and they are not going to school they better be at working making some money and helping out with the bills.
Most parents work like this except mine. My brother 22 almost 23 is 4 years out of high school. He has gone to school but NEVER finished a semester (on his own $$ thank goodness) and has been in and out of jobs for the past couple years. BUT they still allow him to stay . . *sighs*

This should have been instilled at an early age. We are to educate our children as soon as we can. We should explain to them what is acceptable and what is not acceptable. If you had trained them from an early age, then maybe this question would have not had to been asked. Now that they are older, it is up to you to support them (emotionally) and find out what their plans are and to try to motivate them to accomplish such plans. You can also set a time limit....Let them know that they have 6 months in order to save their money and to find an apartment. You could also have them give you their earnings and you put that away as a savings for an apartment. Let them know as soon as they get an apartment that you are planning a house warming party for them....(then secretly celebrate their leaving)....p.s. Ever hear of empty nest syndrome?

Generally, when they are not actively going to school, and not contributing to the household financially. Many parents will let their children work for a while and live at home to give the kids a chance to save up a little money before they move out. Other parents will allow their children to freeload indefinitely. But, given that it's YOUR house, you still make the rules, so feel free to cut them loose as soon as you feel they can fend for themselves.

Legally, they have to be the age of majority. In most states that is 18 or until they graduate high school.

When they turn 18. They might have a hard time getting through school and stuff but it can be done. My sister and I are both doing it now. If they are over 21, kick them out.

If you live in the U.S., it's probably 18. Not sure if you can tell them to get out if they're 18 and still in high school. If you're serious, check with local authorities to see what your state deems "adult" age.

18.
However, you can approach them earlier to help them formulate a plan to help them move out at 18. Looking with them at apartments around town, getting a job to save money, looking into colleges w/ dorms, encouraging good grades, etc. You know basic parental encouragement for them to be the mature adult you know they can be.
