Father asking son to vacate fathers house

1 year ago

Hello Sir,
My father has a house. Due to my job in other city, I have been living out of the house for nearly 20 years but I used to travel to my father house as an when possible, mostly like once a month or once in two months. My father is 80 years old, and I am 45 years old, not married. My mother died 5 years back and my father has been living all alone since my mother died. I was posted abroad for nearly three years, when I came back, I started living with my father. And ever since I came, he kept telling me, although politely to live in another city where my office is like I was doing for 20 years, so I told him, right now I don't have any restriction from my office, and I am free to work from home. Somehow, I managed to stay for one year despite he telling me every other week to find a place for myself. I live as he wants, never raised my voice on him, never fought with him, try to live by his rules, and he himself says, I don't have any problem with you but I want to live alone. Now the issue is he has started going out in other city and blaming me that since I am not going out, so he is going out and staying from one place to another. My question here is if I want to stay with my father in his house, can he still evict me on any grounds, Is it legal for a son to claim his right as a family member and be allowed to live in father house as per law. Although I am working for 20 years, I could never make a home for myself, I always stayed in rented house but as I am also not young anymore and not married, I wished I could spend rest of my life with my father, look after him, but my father is very stubborn, he is not ready to listen to me or to my sister or to my relatives advice, everyone told him that it is better your son stays with you, but he just wants me to go out, although he is fine for me to visit the house like a visitor, like once a month or twice a month, something like that. Please help me understand, if I have done no wrong, can I still claim to stay at my father house. This house he purchased by himself, so it is not a inherited property for him. Also, just one final thing, financially, my father has decent income from another flat he has as a rent he gets. And in past, I have not been able to help him that much financially, I did help him occasionally, but I could never provide financial support to him regularly, and at times, I asked him to help me financially, which he did, and I did return some part of the money I took, but some is still left. So just want to know, can my father still evict me from his house under these circumstances or I am allowed to stay in house by law.
