What is the legal process for kicking an adult child out of the house in New York City?

There is no need for "legal process" unless the person being asked to leave has a lease or is a part owner of the property. If the issue is parents wanting an adult child to leave their home, all that is needed is for the adult child to be told to do so. The adult child has the right to take all personal belongings and those items that they purchased or gifted. If an adult child refuses to leave voluntarily the parents may enlist the assistance of the local authorities (hopefully that would not be necessary).
