Anyone living for an extended time in a residence has certain rights. For
example, if you let your friend stay in your house for free, you cannot just
up and kick him out one day. Now if you have a rental contract, you can have
the sheriff kick him out if you give notice. But if there is no written
agreement, you may have to sue. So maybe the only way to get a kid to leave
would be to sue--that is, if the kid did not want to leave. Even so, in such
a lawsuit, I am not sure it would necessarily be a walkover. Even in that
situtation, the kid may have a good srgument for staying.
