Ok so my BIL is trying to throw out his nephew, but the law says no, you can't do that. Is that not crazy? BIL took in nephew and allowed him to
stay for several weeks due to his having no place to go. My BIL is sick and disabled and owns his home.
This young man went off the deep end and was carving on himself and BIL asked him to stop and they got into an argument, eventually it led to violence
and BIL had to call the police, they took him the nephew to get psychiatric help.
He is getting out and my BIL informed him he could not come there but the nephew says yes he is coming there, it is now home for him and he does not
have anywhere else to go; so my BIL called the police and they said he has a right to come back, that once he stayed there a certain amount of time he
can't be thrown out just like that.
This situation escalated to violence already once and now the laws are forcing my BIL to allow him to come back into his home. This is crazy!!! We
are in Va. , is this some crazy law to protect someone with mental health problems or what? It seems it is setting up a bad situation to me.
This young man has not provided any rent in any way shape or form and my BIL only has one home and this was not a rental deal, it was just, you can
stay here until you find something. Now he can not legally tell him not to come back, I just don't understand. Anyone know what the laws are on such
situations in Va. ? Can this be real or is my BIL not having a good understanding of what the law is telling him? I am really worried someone will be
hurt if this situation continues.
