A judge in New York has ordered a 30-year-old man to leave his parents’ house, after they took legal proceedings to evict their unemployed son.

Christina and Mark Rotondo sent their son Michael five notices between February 2 and March 30, to try and get him out of their home, before eventually suing to force him to leave.

On Tuesday Judge Donald Greenwood, presiding over the Onondaga County Supreme Court in Syracuse, upstate New York, ordered that Michael Rotondo leave the family home.

“This is outrageous!” the 30-year-old yelled in court, after the verdict was handed down.

The case was brought after a series of letters from his parents failed to convince Mr Rotondo to leave.

The first note read: “Michael, after a discussion with your mother, we have decided that you must leave this house immediately.

“You have 14 days to vacate. You will not be allowed to return. We will take whatever actions are necessary to enforce this decision.”
