Camillus, NY -- Two Camillus parents are going to Onondaga County Supreme Court to force their 30-year-old son out of the family residence.

"After a discussion with your Mother, we have decided that you must leave this house immediately," father Mark Rotondo wrote his son, in a letter filed with the court.

But son Michael isn't going anywhere without a fight.

The parents' lawyer, Anthony Adorante, said today that the couple is having trouble with their son and didn't know any other way to get him out. The couple declined comment for this story.

Michael has, so far, ignored their demand to leave, according to the court complaint.

Dad's Feb. 2, 2018 letter began an eviction process that has lasted three months so far and gone from local court up to Onondaga County's top court. They are now seeking a justice in that court to evict Michael.

Christina Rotondo, who owns the family's Weatheridge Drive home, made her intentions clear again in a Feb. 13 letter:

"Michael Joseph Rotondo, You are hereby evicted from 408 Weatheridge Drive, Camillus, New York effective immediately," she wrote.

She warned him not to resist.

"Any action you take that can be construed as threatening or harassing...us or prevents or obstructs our ability to use the house or property at 408 Weatheridge Drive as we see fit will result in your immediate removal from the premises," she concluded.

In a series of letters filed with the court, Christina and Mark offered their son life advice, told him to get rid of his broken car and offered money to help him find a new place to live.

The letters show how the eviction process has unfolded so far:

But Michael didn't heed his parents' warning.

Days later, they offered Michael money to get out. But it came with some biting remarks about his alleged work habits.

But neither the threat of law enforcement nor the promise of money has done the trick.

In their last letter before going to court, the couple tell their son to get his broken car off their property.

But Michael still refuses to go.

In April, the couple went to Camillus town court to try to evict their son. But they were told that it required a Supreme Court justice to remove a family member.

So a week ago, on May 7, 2018, Christina and Mark Rotondo filed a petition in the state's court to order their son removed.



Michael has not yet responded to his parents in court.
