Ex Girlfriend and I own the house and she wont leave

Posted on: 16th Jan, 2014 04:38 pm
My girlfriend and I bought a fixer-upper house together in 2011. She makes less money then I and in the begining I placed a lot of money into the house ( I also sold the house I owned to move with her). She had a parent pass away a year ago and she then placed some of her inheritance money into the house. Now the relationship has not worked out and i told her I wanted to break up.

With my salary I can afford the house and she can't she makes way less money then I do. She stated that she didn't want to move because her inheritance is "in" the house which the full amount is not. I told her that I would give her the full amount and she gave me a move out date of 5months away.

I spoke to a mutual friend that stated she told them she still did not want to move and will get a room mate if needed. The friend informed her that would not work to secure a mortgage loan and she then got mad at them.

She told me that if one peerson can't have the house, the other should not either. I told her I was not selling my half of the house because i can afford it, I put too much work into it (which I had did all the labor in the house myself). I don't know to do, she is not being reasonable, I told her I will give her the whole inheritance back and I think she is just being bitter because I broke up with her. What can I do to get her out? .
Hi arthur,

If her name is mentioned on the property deed, then you cannot force her to move out of the property. She will have to sign a quitclaim deed and transfer the property to you in order to give you the full ownership of the property. You will have to negotiate with her in this regard and convince her for the same.

Thanks

If her name is on the note you cannot force her out - you will need to create an agreement and if I were you get it in writing, If this doesnt work you will have to spend money and consult with an attorney. It sounds like a divorce would have been simpler - at least then the judge would have decided who gets to stay - From her point of view she has just as much right to the house as you. Legally she is probably right -
Thanks for sharing let us know how it goes
