We have a house sitter, living there since March last year, rent free. There is a house sitting agreement that has been extended, BUT specifies a date wwhen the house need to be vacated. Lat encounter was that they have no place to go, supposedly everything is expensive and I might have to initiate eviction. What are the eviction procedures in LV, and am I looking for a legal uphill battle?

Do you have a written contract with the house sitter? Does that make the house sitter your employee and not your tenant?

I'm dealing with something similar, someone living rent free for over a year and now I'm being told they don't have the money to move out or afford monthly rent. Really, you had over a year of no rent, utilities, water, trash, cable/Internet etc. and you didn't think to put any money aside for when you needed to move out? Just ranting

Good luck

Just don't wait too long so it turns into this:

8 On Your Side: Lengthy eviction process finally ends - 8 News NOW

At the end of the story are some helpful ideas and it shows the correct way to evict someone. A lot of back and forth legwork and paperwork.
I keep hearing stories like this. Time to show them some tough love and evict them. Otherwise, they will never leave. They have it good, why would they want to change it?

I have heard of pet sitters but house sitters?? What a terrible idea. I would prefer to keep my house empty and just let the neighbors keep an eye on it.

That is messed up. So many laws seem to favor the criminal.

Our lawmakers need to change the law to protect homeowners and not the freeloaders or trespassers instead of wasting time debating if square dancing should be our official state dance.

I bet there is a personal relationship between you and your house sitter, otherwise why would you let someone stay in your house for free just so he/she can watch your house ? Couldn't you rent it to anyone?
Never mix up personal relationship with business issues.

Probably, yes. Unless they are highly resourceful squatters, turning off utilities could prove to be quite the motivator.

I would check what the local law says about doing that first. NV is much more landlord friendly than NY, but here doing that could get you arrested.
