Did your father sell the house he sold to you below market? If he did, then perhaps in his mind he is entitled to remain in it. Rather than serving your own father with a 30 day eviction notice or an unlawful detainer action which is typical in a landlord tenant situation, I would talk to him about perhaps getting his own place or paying some portion of the bills.

My experience is that you really do not want to get into a legal battle with your own parent especially over an item sold to you. You might also consult with a real estate attorney with your father about the situation you have written about.
