Question

How can I politely ask my in-laws (and other house guests who have overstayed their welcome) to leave?

Answer 1

The other answers are all good, but if you are asking how to do it legally, you need to check your state's laws and cases, and if you can't, you really need to check with a lawyer who does evictions.. . Another way is to change the locks when they are out.. . Not all state allow self-help evictions, so if the in-laws are likely to go to a lawyer if you try to throw them out, you really do need to chack with a lawyer in your area.

Answer 2

make a pass at them

Answer 3

Anytime someone has overstayed their welcome, you need to tell them. If they announce they were planning on staying longer, offer to make a reservation at a hotel, but that you need to carry on with your normal life. Be firm because some people just don't get the hint.

Answer 4

Serve the kids only beans.

Answer 5

You flat out ask them to. It is your house and they have to respect that. I had this same problem last year with my brother in-law, but I solved it by being upfront with him. We are still great friends. :)
