Can you give me free advice on eviction?
Sure ****, I'd be happy to help. First, could you provide more details about your situation? Are you a tenant facing eviction, or a landlord looking to evict a tenant? Also, could you please tell me your location as eviction laws can vary by jurisdiction?
I need to evict my sister in law. She has no lease and hasn’t paid any rent and she has never been asked to do so. Up until Friday my brother lived there and she put a protective order against him. She will not leave the house.
Thank you for the details, ****. Could you please tell me the location of the property? The eviction laws vary from state to state.

What does notice to quit do?
A Notice to Quit formally informs the tenant that the landlord intends to end the tenancy and requests the tenant to vacate the premises. It begins the legal eviction process if the tenant doesn't comply.
