How can I evict my daughter from my apartment?
I am renting an apartment and my 17 year old and 15 year old daughters live with me. Both are disrespectful; curse me out daily, refuse to do what I direct them to do, come in and out of the apartment all times of the night. At this point, what do I need to do to evict the 17 year old on her 18th birthday which is 08/22/10?

Your daughter once she becomes 18 and an adult becomes a licensee (a guest) in your home. In order to evict you must give her notice that her presence is no longer wanted and that her right to remin in the premises is terminated. Each state has a different system for handling eviction matters and has a certain notice requirement for guest. Some are 10 days others are 30 days. Once you give her the notice and the time has elapsed and she remains, you can then file an evcicition proceeding. Evictions proceedings are usually very detail oriented and proper procedure must be followed. I suggest that you either contact a landlord/tenant attorney ort a court clerk for specifics on the notice requirement and to obtain the proper forms.
