What are an adult child’s rights regarding being asked to leave their parent’s house?
I was kicked out of my parent’s home in Ohio, I have been paying them room and board in the amount of $300 and I wanted to know how long do I have to get my things out of their property and did they have to give me an eviction notice or can they just toss me out of the house? I got into a fight with them and I wanted to know what my rights are even though I am their adult child and I have been giving them money to live there. There is no contract, only a verbal agreement for the $300 per month. Finally, would it be wise to have a police officer there when I retrieve my things.

If you are an adult child living at your parents' home with them paying monthly room and board of $300 with no written tenancy agreement, under the law you have a month-to-month rental with them.
As such, you were required to have been given at least a thirty (30) day written notice of termination of your "tenancy" by your parents under the law. When you retrieve your belongings from your parents' home, you should have a third person present to assist you, not necessarily a police officer.
