What is the name of your state? California
I have had a girl living with my disabled daughter for about 10 months. She has taken more vacation time than I would have liked. All totaled, she was gone about 7 weeks. I would like to fire her, but I don't know if I will be breaking any laws to do so. She has been good to my daughter in may ways, but she just takes off for anywhere from 5 - 7 days at a time. We have had a "trade" agreement with her. She pays no rent or utilities and in exchange, she was supposed to look after my daughter, cook a little, clean a little and run some errands. The market rate for the condo is about $800/mo so the way I look at it, she has cheated us by being gone so much. How do I get rid of her without breaking the law? Can I just ask her nicely to be out in a few days? She has already given her notice and wants to stay until May 20th, but she has already scheduled 11 days of that time in Florida and elsewhere. I feel really taken advantage of, but I am reluctant to tell her to be out now because I'm afraid she will sue me or send the police or something. What shall I do?
