How can you be a resident if out of the kindness of my heart I let you sleep on my couch? He paid no rent broke more than a few things, an didnt have more than a back pack. Far as I see it I own where I live your not a resident unless I have said this is where you live, if I say you can crash on my couch for a couple weeks while you find your own place. This isn't your residency this is a I'm being nice. Not trying to sound like a jerk ha just confused, I understand residency an I think it's a month in Minnesota. But from what I understood it was a you had to be living there have your things there, pay rent or have some kind of stake in that house some how not being someone who's aloud to sleep on the couch a few nights? Bah feel like I'm rambling trying to understand sorry

If you read the OP, the druggie uncle has lived in the house for five years, not just a few days or weeks. So, forcing him to leave could require Grandma to seek a formal eviction IF the druggie uncle is smart enough to force her down that path. That is why I suggested the OP learn the legal process to get it done.In your particular case most likely your friend (or ex-friend) wasn't present long enough to be classified a resident, but you do have to be careful about being kind in the future. You wouldn't be the first person where "a few nights on the couch" stretched out to a few weeks, then a month, then the mail starts arriving and the driving license gets changed, and you have a real problem on your hands.
