My elderly parents have let a (very) distant relative stay in their house as she has recently moved to Melbourne and has a new job. There had been no agreement and she pays no bills or rent. She has been there for a month or so and now says she would like to stay for 6 months.
My question is does she have any rights? My parents are being kind but recently she asked my sister what we will do when they are no longer there and that she would like first rights on purchasing the house (while crying poor). We were shocked, had not even the faintest thoughts of this and are wondering due to this if she has any rights to stay as long as she wants or if we have to power to ask her to leave if we need to.
My parents are just being kind to someone they barely know and we now feel we need to be wary of this person and their intentions.
Thanks in advance for any knowledge you may be able to share.
