After Eight-years and Five eviction letters, Christina and Mark Rotondo have won legal action to have their 30-year old son Michael, removed from their home.
The disgruntled parents claim Micheal paid no rent, didn't help around the house, and had rejected offers from them to help him find a new place to live.
Mr Rotondo moved back home eight years ago after losing his job.
His parents had warned him that if he didn't start contributing to the household, he would be evicted. However, Micheal ignored these warnings.
One written warning read:
"You have heretofore been our guest and there is no lease or agreement that gives you any right to stay here without our consent.
"On the advice of our lawyer we have decided to grant you up to thirty (30) days from the date shown above to remove your possessions and vacate the premises."
They even then offered him money so he could find a place to stay, and a list of suggestions about how he could afford to move out.
When he ignored this also, his parents took the case to the New York State Supreme Court

During his court appearance, Mr Rotondo told State Supreme Court Justice Donald Greenwood he knew his parents wanted him to move out of their home in Camillus, near Syracuse.
But argued he was entitled to six months more time — a claim the judge rejected as "outrageous", according to Syracuse.com.
The judge then asked Mr Rotondo's parents to produce an eviction order to be signed in court, giving their son reasonable time to vacate.
After his court appearance, Mr Rotondo told journalists he would appeal the judge's decision, saying he was not ready to leave home.
According to Syracuse.com, he then returned to his parents' house.
