Can you be evicted out of your mom’s house if you pay rent?
I really want to know if you’re contributing financially to your mother’s household, can you be served an eviction notice. What exactly are the steps she would have to take to kick me out and am I allowed to have guest being that I live there and pay her to live there?

Sounds like touchy times at your home. So if you call your contribution "rent" and you have no formal lease, you would be considered a "month to month" tenant. Your Mother would have to give you one month's notice (starting from the first of the month or what ever date you started paying, like the 15th to the 15th) and if you did not leave after that one month was up she could serve you with a notice of eviction. Can you have guests over? I would think so. Maybe it is time to find your own place. Good luck.
