does my co-signer have wrights
My co-signer has been leaving at the front house as my tenant and now I want them out. Do they have rights to stay if there not on the deed but only on the loan?

No, they do not. Just being on the mortgage does not confer legal rights to a property; a person must be listed on the deed in order to have ownership rights. Accordingly, you can evict your tenant even if they are a borrower on the mortgage loan. That having been said, you cannot just kick them out; you must follow all state specific requirements for an eviction, assuming that this tenant will simply not just move after being given proper notice to vacate. At this point, you should consult directly with a local attorney.
