Re: Selling

If a House Tenant does not have a WRITTEN Option to Purchase, Contract, or other "Ownership Agreement" with the owner, that specifically transfers an ownership, equity or other interest in REAL PROPERTY premises, to the Tenant/s, the Tenant/s cannot "acquire" ownership or an equity interest in their rented premises, by virtue of rent or any other payments they may have made re their "tenancy" or "license" to live on the premises.

However, suggest that you file for a Court Order legally evicting both your stepson and his girlfriend from your premises, ASAP. For, it appears that you such action is necessary to your peace; and will help you avoid the possibility of a disenchanted tenant damaging or destroying, your premises.

Good luck,

Re: Selling

You should immediately consult with a landlord-tenant attorney in the county where the house is located to determine exactly what notice you need to provide and how to commence a proceeding to remove her. Her claim against the house is probably meritless but, even if she was entitled to money from you, the issue is irrelvant to her occupancy. You need to get her out ASAP. Feel free to call me if you need help finding the right kind of lawyer in the area.
