More details to this question:
My fiance had his mother move in when the lease of her apartment ended in March. She's been living with us since mid-April, pays no rent, or any other expenses. She does clean and cook plus buy groceries, which is nice, but I feel she's worn out her welcome. She can be rude, obnoxious and is supposed to be looking for a place of her own but is not. She's not on the lease at my place. I'm afraid of penalties for someone being in my apartment who's not on the lease, family member not. My fiance fails to see this, all he can say is it's his mother. I'm not looking to make her homeless, but feel she's been at my apartment living for free long enough. She's made obscene comments about me, others, etc. What do I need to do to get her out asap?

This is an issue between you and your fiance to work out. Otherwise, trying to sue the future mother inlaw for removal from the apartment is likely to result in an EX-fiance and a lot of drama. That said, you need to review your lease with the fiance as most of them prohibit allowing others not on the lease to move in for any length of time and it creates a clear risk that the LL may sue all of you for eviction.
