A judge in New York has recently sided with the parents of a thirty-year-old man and ordered him to move out of the family's home.

According to news reports, Christina and Mark Rotondo asked their son Michael on five different occasions to move out of their home, each time giving him several weeks to vacate. One such notice read, "After a discussion with your Mother, we have decided 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."

The written notices, which even included offers of cash and help finding a new home, were ignored. Frustrated, the Rotondos filed for an ejectment proceeding. Michael countered with a request for the court to dismiss the case, claiming that for the past eight years he "has never been expected to contribute to household expenses, or assisted with chores and the maintenance of the premises, and claims that this is simply a component of his living agreement."

Michael further contends New York case law requires a six-month notice to quit before a tenant can be removed through ejection action. New York State Supreme Court Judge Donald Greenwood disagreed, granting the order for eviction and noting, "I think the notice is sufficient."

"I'm getting together the means to [leave]," Michael said. "With my parents, they want me out right away, and they're not really interested in providing reasonable time, and the court is siding with them, as it seems."

After the court hearing, Rotondo told reporters he plans to appeal the case and finds the ruling "ridiculous." He said he expects to be able to leave within three months, which "ironically" would be six months from the first notice in February.
