My mother is evicting me from her home- Can I sue?

I have been living with my mother for a while now but I pay $1000/month in rent. I also buy my own groceries, and I contribute to utilities and cable/wifi on top of that. My 26 year old sister lives with us too but she does NOT pay rent. She graduated from law school but still does not have a job. She's more interested in riding the cawk carousel instead of looking for a job or doing something honorable like becoming a wife and mother. She even has the nerve to bring her sex partners over for their late night liasons. My mother's boyfriend Steve also lives with us and he does not pay rent at all!! Anyway, yesterday my mother told me that I have to move out because she is "sick of my shenanigans". I toId told her she cannot kick me out without a 30 day notice and that I will sue her. So this morning she gave me a 30 day notice and also gave me $5000. She said I cannot take legal action since she gave me 30 day notice and enough money to cover a few months rent. But I don't want or need her money. I just want my room which I got used to living in and the companionship of my family. I got used to living with others and don't want to go back to living alone in a quiet apartment. Its not fair that my sister and Steve can stay for free but i'm getting kicked out even though I pay rent. She's choosing her boyfriend over me which is wrong. Is there any legal action I can take to prevent her from kicking me out?

    In the great U.S.A. you can pretty much sue anyone for anything you like. That doesn't mean you have a chance of winning. Trying to sue your mother will just be a waste of your money, because she will win. You are correct that you have established residency by paying rent and having bills there. But since you don't have a rental contract, you are on a month to month tenancy, so her 30 day notice is all that is required legally to get you out. If you fail to leave, she can proceed with eviction procedures against you, which will mess up your ability to rent a decent place in the future and cost you more money.

    The message is very clear here, Donovan. She doesn't want you there any longer, and it really doesn't matter what anyone else is doing. This has nothing to do with your sister or your mother's boyfriend Steve. This is between you and her, and you have worn out your welcome in her house. Time to start looking for another place to live. If you don't want to be alone, then look for roommate situations. Incidentally, how is the gay sex experimentation going for you?

    It's her house. I dont know what shenanigans you are pulling, but she diesnt want to deal with them any more. The situation with your sibling or your mom's boyfriend are irrelevant. If she officially applies for an eviction for you through the county, it will be a major splotch in your record that will come up in a background check if you try to rent elsewhere. Leave now. Dont drag this out and cause drama or get an eviction on your record. Find somewhere else to stay and leave on as good of terms as possible.

    You can get some courage and start looking for an apartment that are close by. Many are in newspapers and online. That way you have neighbors and are not as lonely. Its time to move on and experience life outside of your family home. Your mom can't take care of you forever and this is why she's starting to stand up for herself! Be respectful, mature, and understanding. I'm not sure if I can believe you're 31 though if you're this stubborn, sorry. You're the oldest son and sibling to prove you can make it on your own as time is flying by. Where are you going to be without your family? Its time to mature and grow.

    first of all if your sister is dating guys obviously she is making an honest attempt at trying to find a husband just because she isnt good at it doesnt mean its not her intention i cantell you as a girl it is the intention, secondly having a law degree almost ully garuntees that she will have a secure futurewith a nice financial freedom to raisechildren, but she would need a house and job first, cant bring a baby into a crowded house w no space, i dont know what type of shenaigens you are up to but clearly youre causing everyone trouble maybe try to start being nicer to your siblings and perhaps spend some quality time with them, show your mom that she raised a caring and respectful person. MAYE TRY TO KEEP YOUR OPINIONS TO YOURSLEF AND JUST BE HELPFUL AND KIND AND SWEET!!!

    Like the little bird fledglings, their is a time to fly the nest, I hear you about your sister, but she has stabbed you in the back, but she studied law, she will have put your mother up to this, but I cannot see anything you can do. But yiu are lucky, you can fly away from these Sh it's and start on your own, find a male and start your own life, this maybe not correct by yiur mother, but she is pushing out if the nest. Their is birds who infiltrated nest and as they get older and stronger just back up and push the other little ones out over the top of the nest, this is what your sister is doing, she has given you the push, but this is gods world he related it so how can you fight a gods way in life.

    But lucky I am an atheist and do not believe in a crazy man made God, but the birds actually do this, the big sister push, yiu are gone. Her attitude is look after No 1 . I could not live with Sh it house rats like that anyway !

    Did you sign a contract? If not then you are out on the curb my friend. a contract can protect both you and her. However their are squatter laws in certain states that say if the person has lived there for a period of time they legally cannot be vacated from the property without proper notice.

    I see you haven't specified your age. If you are over 18, then legally, you cannot sue; however, if you're under 18, you can sue her.

    Do you really WANT to stay where you are not wanted and not appreciated? I think you've been told you are no longer welcome. It happens. Move on with your life. You can't do anymore in that house. I'd suggest you do NOT advise them of your new address, that you change your phone numbers and do NOT give it to them. I'm pretty sure that soon after you are gone, your donations will be missed, and they will start asking for money.
