No, it's still your home, and you can control who comes into your home. You do, however, have less control of what she does outside your home.

No, its your house, and your rules, (she dosen't have to stay there and you don t have to let her stay there.) but she surely must respect what wour house rules are) You don t have to let any one you don t want in to your home.(without a warrent)

If she paid half the rent, mortgage, or contributed to food and utility bills, I would say she would have some say. Otherwise, she should ask you as it is your home and you are the provider.

Your house...your rules. It doesn't matter the age or relationship of the people who reside in YOUR home...unless of course it's your spouse, then a compromise is in order.

NO! this is not true as long as she is living in YOUR house she should go by your rules.

Oh, Hell to the NO, your house your rules.

The answer depends on your state, but in some states the answer is yes. Here is why: Although you don't consider your daughter to be a tenant, the law in your state might. It doesn't matter that your duaghter does not pay rent. Since you most likely don't have a rental agreement (i.e. lease) with your daughter, then it is assumed to be a month-to-month tenancy. If your state does consider your daughter a tenant, then you still have some legal options (as well as some tremendous leverage) to get your way. First, you can tell your daughter that if she does not stop bringing people you don't approve to your home you will evict her (i.e. kick her out). Second, you can write a rental agreement that restricts visitors. In states that don't consider your daughter a tenant, you can kick anybody out at anytime. If you tell someone to leave and they don't, they are now a trespasser. You can call the cops to have them removed. You can also get a restraining order against them. And why don't you approve of them? If the reason is that they are breaking the law or disturbing your quite enjoyment of your property, then you can have them removed.

If she wants to bring unsavory people into her own house thats fine, but she should respect YOUR house rules..JMO

I don't think that age is a factor. If she believes that she can bring people you don't approve of then she SHOULD MOVE OUT AND GET HER OWN PLACE. You got to pay the cost to be the boss. It's your house and your the one who should make the rules. Don't let anyone tell you how to run your household. When I was 18 I wanted to do what i want when i want so I just moved out!!

I think Koz is probably closest to right. If she helps with the bills, she MAY have some rights. But, otherwise, everyone else is right. Your house, your rules. The only problem you will run into tho', is, will she move out and move in with these hoodlums if you put your foot down? Or, just hang out at their places, (if they have one)? If so, you may want to leave well enuff alone, and try to monitor her behavior while she is at home. It's a tuff situation. I wish you all the luck in the world. I know what you are going thru.

nope. because she is 18 she can hang out with people you don't approve of and go to their houses. your house is YOURS and you have a say in who comes is and how long they can stay. even if she were paying rent you would still have a say. i would say that unless her name is on the lease/deed she must defer to you for house rules.

This is your home, not hers, no matter her age. you have the final word on visitors. if your daughters do not approve of your decision, they can meet these people elsewhere. One daughter is 18, an adult. you do not have to let her live in your house. if she does not approve of your decisions and refuses to leave, seek a restraining order to keep her away. once a restraining order is violated, its 10 days in jail to serve, for each separate offense. Do not let your 18 daughter bluff you into this situation.

The house is in your name isn't it. It's your choice, she has no right to bring people you don't want to in your house. She can always move out and then you won't have any say over what she does or who she brings home.
