Just an occupant Roomate

No, she can be evicted, as will her offspring, too.

It will consume time, maybe six to eight weeks AFTER the formal eviction papers have been served.

The lesson here is NEVER allow anyone to visit, much less reside in your home.

If someone wishes to visit with you, that you barely know, meet them in a restaurant, park, coffee shop, or outside your home.

Don't invite a wolf into your home.

 

What do you think this distinction means, and on what basis or bases do you draw this distinction?

No. In fact, it's patently silly, but this appears to be between the landlord and the woman in question, so not really any concern of yours.

 

Agreed. The minor does not protect her from eviction. That is just silly for her to think that.

If you allow someone to live in your home, whether they pay rent or not or are named in the lease or not, they will have essentially the same protections as you do as a tenant.

You are fortunate that the landlord is taking action and not leaving the problem to you.
