So first of all, your mom is reluctant in letting others know where she lives. It has nothing to do with rights but with decency and respecting her wishes.
As when it comes to your rights, actually you have very little as an adult. Technically now your mom could say that you have to move out and if she did that you would be on your own even if that would mean being homeless.
Since you are so eager to go on a date, asking about your rights wrt your mom I think you likely don't understand why your mom is concerned and sound like an easy prey to someone that can just use you and you will deeply regret shortly after.
Why not meet someone in normal circumstances (like school, work etc) instead dating strangers?
Remember that having additional privileges is a small part of being adult, much bigger are responsibilities that you get and consequences of bad decisions that you make.
Don't start your adult life with something you might regret.
It's funny that kids wish they were adults while adults wish they were kids again.
Found the sister.
where? what did I miss? Now I'm invested and damn curious.
I agree. It all seems off.
Meeting someone online is and has been "normal circumstances" for some years now.
This is wrong. Because OP is now an adult they are legally a tenant and thus OP's mom would have to formally evict OP.
Not true in a lot of places.
Of course, but OP hasn't said where they're from, and the only thing we have to go on is that they talk about their "mom". This generally points to someone being from the US (however it could be someone that merely learned English from a US-style teacher).
At the very least, we can reasonably conclude they're not in Canada, the UK or Australia.
Legally, yes. Normally, no.
If OP's mom does not formally evict OP then OP would be able to sue for an unlawful eviction. In such a circumstance, OP would want to call the police to gain entry - if not to assert their tenancy rights and stay in the property then at least to collect their belongings.
