Live in Caregiver Rights

I live in californiia and I have taken care of a elder lady for 6 years, the last 3 years has been live in. Her family gives me no support or relief and never comes to the house. My duties had become 24/7 with only 7 hours a week that I am able to have off (someone comes in during this time). Her daughter has not paying me for what my job duties include. She has deducted wages for rent in her mothers house. I have even paid for utilities totaling $900.00 a couple months ago. I often pay for her food so my client did not provide any room or board. Me and her daughter got into an arguement and daughter put a restraining order on me and now I can't go into private living quarters. She put her mom into a conv. hospital within 4 days. I have been staying in motel since this happend 2 weeks ago. Which is costly and inconvient.

Do I have any "tenant" rights since she deducted monies for rent? or even as a live in caregiver do I have any length of time like 30 days do move instead of being displaced with my family.

Some one please help I have devoted my time to this lady and now her family is slapping me in the face.

You probably need to run this by an attorney in your area. You fall into a gray area between a tenant and an employee. If you are considered by your state law to be a tenant, you do have tenant's rights. But with a restraining order against you, you have been effectively evicted. You would need to see what, if anything, the daughter would owe you as compensation for removing you from your rented property.

If you fall under an employee, your housing was tied to your employment. Now that your employment has ended, so too did your housing allowcation.
