In this brief dialogue from Kim Lisa Taylor’s YouTube video, the speakers explain that their sober living home has never needed to evict a resident. They attribute this to a clear intake process where each new resident signs an agreement that outlines house rules and grants both the resident and the house the right to terminate the stay if the rules are violated. The conversation also notes that individuals who continue to drink often choose not to remain in a sober‑living environment, preferring to leave on their own rather than face eviction.

We've never had to have an eviction, never once. Usually if somebody drinks or uses, they don't necessarily want to come home and live with 17 other sober people. They'd rather go out and do their thing.
So we've never had an issue with having to do that. And it sounds like you've got an agreement that you've set up that pretty much does that encompass like house rules and things like that as well. Like, you know, do they sign?
Yeah, when they— when we do the intact— we— in intake, sorry, we, uh, we, uh, yeah, we have an agreement they sign that they can be asked to leave, and we can ask them— or they can leave at any time, and we can ask them to leave if there's something that they're doing that, that goes against our house rules.
