Dad owns the house I live in, but doesn't live here, what rights do we have if he tries to move back in?

At least get a copy of the deed and the tax card from the town/county you are in. This is public record, probably online for a nominal fee to download, if not freely in a database.

In any event, it’s good to know the assessed value, the legal description, whether there’s any mortgage or liens, and the yearly tax bill and mill rate. You have no rights now, but if you find that there are any liabilities, perhaps you have a leg up if you can offer to buy him out. It would be crucial to have a legal contract and registered sale, for example if he was willing to hold a note, and have all docs executed by a lawyer and on file at the town.

Do not invest any more for now!
