📝 AITAH for wanting to kick my sister out?

About 3 weeks ago my sister came over to my house for the weekend and hasn’t been back to her own place. I live in a one bedroom apartment and she used to live in a share house. She has been struggling to pay her rent being in the share house for a couple of months now and either has to ask my parents for money or she lets it add up being behind her rent. She hasn’t worked in over a year and when she did have a job she quit the job because she didn’t like working in that industry anymore and hasn’t had a job since. After the weekend she spent with me she got kicked out of her place for being behind rent for 4 weeks and her and my mum discussed she would stay at my apartment without asking me first, when it came to getting her things from the share place she demanded that I do it on a certain day and time and whenever she needs things done - since she doesn’t drive either she’s always asking my mum to ask me to do things for her. Ever since she has been by my place I set ground rules of her not touching my things, she buys her own food and she goes half in rent with me. For the last 3 weeks she always has an excuse about why she can’t pay rent and discusses it with my mum which then I have to talk with her about it and hasn’t bought food for herself and sent me anything for the groceries that I buy for myself or if I get takeaway I always get her some but ask for half because I’m not in the position to be paying for her things left and right. I work during the week 9-5 Monday - Friday and I go to bed pretty early. When I go to sleep I ask her to be quiet because it’s a small place and thin walls and she will be on FaceTime with her friends all night playing videos games and on her iPad all night and she sleeps during the day. When I come home from work the house is a complete mess and she’s still asleep. Everytime I’ve asked her how it’s going looking for a job and place she just shuts down and gets sensitive and upset about me asking about it. When I talk to my mum about her she just takes her side saying be gentle with her don’t be mean to her but I feel like she isn’t my responsibility and she’s a full adult - we are the same age and I just can’t comprehend how she isn’t worried about getting a job and her own place and not being dependent on everyone else. When I ask her to do simple things like take out the trash , clean up after herself and to find a job she will start crying and gets angry with me. I’ll never ever let my twin sister be homeless ever but I’m getting to the stage where I can’t bare for me to be paying for everything for her and her just lazing around at my apartment. I’ve talked to my mum about her moving back home and she says that’s not an option because her and my step dad don’t get alone and she doesn’t want to move back home but I have no idea what to do anymore and I’m constantly angry about this and upset with her. I have set goals for her to do like go to sleep early, go to the gym take a walk apply for jobs and she just ignores me and tells me she’s working on it.
