I'm not sure that she has many rights as a tenant if you basically "rent" to her under a verbal agreement. You should not be constrained by any landlord/tenant relationship so far as having her removed from the house.
But of course, research the laws in your own state.
No agreement, but under Florida law if she has been here more that 4 months you can't just kick them out. That's not my major problem it's being able to handle the bills when she leaves. My mom pays for me right now until SSD starts coming in. If it wasn?t for my mom helping out I would have lost my house a long time ago. 1. I do it in a way mom doesn?t get mad. 2. I have to be able to cover the 2/5s of the bills she is paying once she leaves. I have 3 potential roommates. One is currently rooming with a friend, but doesn?t like it. The second my VERY responsible brother who has his own LEGIT business is living with his girlfriends parents and is not that happy there. Third is one of my Ass hole friends that would be really difficult to live with, and is a total slob; probably not nearly as tuff as living with my sister though. I've told them all except the slob about the newly vacated spot all seem interested, but need more convincing.
