Can you kick out a visitor from your home in CA? and does she have winning case against me?

Question

I am 100% owner of the condo,and the person doesn't have a lease agreement to stay at my place from me. Here is the twist to the situation, she has sent me money before as gift of funds, and I bought a condo with that money. She did not lend/
invest money plus she doesn't have any contract or paper work
signed by me. Like I mentioned it was given as gift of funds, because she wanted me to stay at a comforting place. After I bought the place, she did visit the place and has obtained a key from me.
Next thing I know she has been invading into my life; checking
my phone bills, watching who I meet and etc. So when she
left for temp. I changed the locks and left her belongs with
security in my building.
Recap above situation is that she was like a mother figure, but later I found out that she had feelings for me. She was trying to
buy my life with money. She gave me the money has gift and now she wants it back without any paper work. Do I have right to kick her out of my place

Answer 1

If you are the sole owner of the condo, you can evict her from the premises, and you don't have to pay her back any of the money, if it truly was a gift. However, that's a pretty low thing to do on your part.

Were I you, I'd thank her profusely for the gift of money, and tell her that you will return the gift when you can afford it in the future. Meanwhile, tell her that she has to leave the premises because the arrangement is just not working out.

Of course, she's going to blow her stack over this, but her legal standing is on very thin ice here.

Answer 2

If she were a man would you have accepted the "gift?"

If you had and then not returned their affection then would you have been a user and not a very nice person? Yes

If you had accepted the gift and then given sex without love would you be a ....... well you know.

I suggest you be up front. Tell her you misunderstood the relationship. And you are not interested in being "special" friends, you think of her like a maternal figure.

The bottom line is, she isn't your mom, so she doesn't owe you anything so pay her back.

Since there is no paper you can set favorable terms. Say maybe a 100 bucks per paycheck or whatever you can afford. Make it a deposit in a special account just for this purpose so you have easy records.

This is still a gift from above believe me.

With interest in in 30 years for a 50 thousand dollar house you pay about 300k. So this is a no interest "loan" that is saving you a fortune.

Take the high road, you'll feel better about it. If you didn't know that this was the right thing, you wouldn't have asked this question, you wouldn't have even thought to ask.

If she doesn't have a lease and she isn't on the title it is usually treated as a month to month lease which means you have to give her a 30 day notice.

Good luck on you problem.

Answer 3

It is your property so you have every right to kick her out. There was no lease agreement and the money was a gift so there is nothing she can do about it. It's sad she tried to buy your love through money, but it's a hard lesson learned for her.

Answer 4

gift is a gift. It seems it's a control thing and she's trying to use the 'golden rule': she who has the gold makes the rules. You have the right to make the rules in your 'castle'. She gave you the money and you invested in real estate. It is sad that she invested her feeling through money and that should have been said upfront. Change the locks...

Answer 5

How long has she been a visitor? A visitor does not leave personal effects. If she had belongings there, you would have to evict her legally or you may have an illegal eviction on your hand. She would be considered month to month tenancy .....if no lease. You should have notified her of the proposed action etc.. b4 taking drastic action. Hope she does not sue you- for illegal eviction!!
