US judge agrees with parents and orders 30-year-old son to move out of their house
‘Michael, after a discussion with your mother, we have decided that you must leave this house immediately. You have 14 days to vacate. You will not be allowed to return’
A judge has ordered a 30-year-old man in New York state to move out of his parents’ house, after a short legal battle.
During the hearing on Tuesday, state Supreme Court justice Donald Greenwood tried to convince Michael Rotondo, who reportedly moved back home eight years ago after losing a job, to leave the family home in Camillus, near Syracuse, of his own accord. But Rotondo, who represented himself in court, argued that he was entitled to six more months of living with his family.
Suing their son in state Supreme Court was a last resort for Christina and Mark Rotondo, who have spent the past few months sending Michael formal letters asking him to leave.
In a note dated 2 February, which has been filed in Onondaga county Supreme Court, they wrote: “Michael, after a discussion with your mother, we have decided that you must leave this house immediately. You have 14 days to vacate. You will not be allowed to return. We will take whatever actions are necessary to enforce this decision.”
Rotondo received another letter shortly after that read: “Michael Joseph Rontodo, you are hereby evicted.”
