[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think op was just looking for legal advice, not a lesson on ethics. Despite what YOU would do, op needs to protect herself and her family from legal consequences nanny could invoke. 30 days notice and a grand for her to go quietly. Op is at the disadvantage here. The laws are set up to protect the tenant, which the nanny legally became when she moved into op's house. Sure, she could fire her and kick her out tonight. And that might go just fine - but if nanny knows the law and is desperate or vindictive, she could make things difficult for op.[/quote]

I think that this is definitely an ethical issue, but I will say that the nanny is not necessarily a tenant. I'm the nanny that was kicked out as a live in and the reason they could do it was because I was technically a "border" in a home. I didn't have a lease agreement separate from my contract and was never referred to as a tenant nor they a landlord. For any nannies considering a live in arrangement *PLEASE* protect yourselves. Get a lease agreement drawn up separately from your employment contract that specifies your living arrangement, and have in your employment contract a termination clause that does not allow them to kick you out without notice even if you are fired for cause or without notice. My employers simply decided that they wanted to rent my space to a friend of theirs, I pushed back, and they threw the book at me. Young, naive, and trusting  :oops: [/quote]
