this person has stayed with me for about three months, has no job, no car, no friends and she has become a nightmare to have around. She states repeatedly that because she has lived here for more then 30 days that she has the same rights as i do to live here. she has no money, complains about EVERYTHING, destroys things because she cant control her temper..... the list goes on and on. I want this person out,, how do i go about it and whats the quickest way to get her out?

Tell this person it is time to go! Then tell her if she destroys any more property you will file charges against her. Call a lawyer or you local law enforcement to find out the proper and easiest way to evict this person from your house and then escort her out of your life. Make sure you and your family or someone else is present when she leaves and make sure you have possession of any keys she may have. I would then change the locks.
Don't give her 30 days. She is a guest if she does not pay rent. A lot can happen in 30 days---kick her to the curb now. No warning if possible.
Good luck!

Laws are different by state. Look up the tenet rights for your state. There should also be a local number that you can call for advice. In some places, your guest is correct. However, there are ways to get rid of these people. You just need to find out the law and how to do it so she can't come back to haunt you. You may also want to look into taking her to small claims court to recoup the cost of her damaging your stuff. Best of luck.

Depends on the state and probably county you live in.
Hopefully, you had them sign a renter's agreement or lease.
In Alabama, You have to give them an eviction notice first, and then wait like so many days. Then you can get the sheriff involved.
But even then, if they are like elderly or have children living with them, it becomes MUCH harder.
I would probably search your state on the internet for rental evictions or eviction notices. If you have a friend in real estate, they may give you some advice.
Good Luck

She has no right to be there whatsoever. If she is over 18 and has not been paying for anything, then the owner of the house has every right to kick her out. However, you did mention that your family owns it and not you. You need to tell the family member who owns the house the problem and have that person kick them out. You can't kick her out if the owner is allowing her to stay there.
Assuming the owner wants her out, they should probably tell her with witnesses and in writing that she has 30 days to get out. If she doesn't comply, then get a lawyer and call the police. If she isn't paying anything and is not legally renting the house, the police can remove her from the property.

One of the owners of a house that lived with a person like this pretended to tell her tenant that the house was for sale and he had put up a "for sale" sign outside. I don't know if that is morally correct, or if you could get into any kind of trouble for that, but this is what he did, and it worked. Good luck!

If the person has paid any rent, or done services for room and board, then u have to go thru the 'legal' process of serving papers etc....If they are just truly a 'guest' then u can just call the cops and say you want them out......this is of course not legal advice....just from experience ;)

Charge her rent and when she doesn't pay, you need to legally evict her through the court system. That is what my mother had to do to my brother because it was the only way due to the fact that he had lived with her for so long.

Tell her to make an attitude adjustment or get out. And if she doesn't, tell her that you will take legal action if she doesn't. Also, convince her to get a job. The reason she destroys things is probably negative energy that built up. A job would run her down, and calm her down quite a bit.

There are a lot of states where she DOES have rights. What state do you live in? In a lot of places, if she has gotten mail there, she is a resident. In lot of places she is a common law tenant after a couple of months.
