What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Illinois
When my child turned 18, she voluntarily moved out. I swore she couldn't come back but after finding herself homeless in 6 weeks, she moved back in. At the time she moved out, I sent her a certified letter advising her she had 30 days to remove all belongings from my home.
She has been back for 3 weeks and has done nothing but create havoc. We have bigger problems now than we had before she moved out the first time.
I am wondering if she is still entitled to the same landlord/tenant rights that she was prior to voluntarily moving out or could this be construed as a temporary situation? She has to leave and take her belongings with her. I want to be sure I do this legally and I'm not sure where to find answers.

Since she moved out and came back, she would only need a 30-day notice to vacate. Send it via CRR. If she refuses to move, you will need to evict her per your states LL/T laws.

Go to your post office and rent a box , use that as your return mail address on the notice you send to her so this way if she refuses to sign for it when it comes back to you it cannot magically vanish!
