So I was just told by my mom that I have three days to get out of the house.

I don't currently have a job because I fell ill and had to stay in bed for a month, I also failed many school subjects because of the same reason. I am slightly worried, but I think if everything goes right, I might have a couple of options to get a place to stay and some money for food and all that (or I might not, but let's hope I do). I honestly have no idea what's gonna happen. Have you ever been in a situation like this? How did you make it work?

That isnt legal. I suggest looking for a job immediately but legally in most places she has to give you a longer notice.
@NeuroticByNature His mother has to give notice?

@NeuroticByNature only if he pays rent which I highly doubt he does

@Spoiledbrat no she cannot just dump him onto the street. She needs to go get an evection notice. There are some states with different laws but if you wanted to he could get legal with it.

@Fernie i dont know the details of the law but some places you need to get a legal notice.
@NeuroticByNature Looks like in at least Massachusetts and California, if he is not paying rent and does not contribute, he's not a tenant but a guest and notice is not tequired.

@Mamapolo2016 yes i was looking at some and it says he has to pay rent otherwise he is trespassing.

@NeuroticByNature Kids who live at home, rent-free, aren't tenants. That doesn't necessarily mean that the police will help the parents kick them out, and the police may well tell mom and dad "It's a civil matter, a family matter, and unless you have an order of eviction we're not interested." It may even be possible that if an adult child is locked out of his legal residence the police, summoned to the scene, will tell mom and dad to let junior get his belongings, or perhaps even that they need to let him in and properly evict him. But once the deal is done, the odds are the police will tell the kid what they formerly would have told the parents, "It's a civil matter, a family matter, and unless you have a court order saying you have the right to move back in we're not interested."

Laws governing wrongful evictions under landlord-tenant law usually relate only to actual tenancies, so unless junior is actually paying rent the odds are he's not going to get very far by trying to sue his parents.
Besides...we only have his teenage side of the story.It's time for him to go out on his own

@Fernie yes this i am reading.
It’s her house so she can do whatever she wants and it doesn’t have to be fair. @NeuroticByNature

@NeuroticByNature Not true at all. He is a son not a renter. He goes when his parents say so.

@Mamapolo2016 No she doesn't.
@TheProphet LOL. Got your referee whistle there?
