I have to vent...

My uncle was trying to force me to take in his grandson and girlfriend....

Issues:

Would go against my lease
His grandson has anger issues and was charged before with domestic violence
There are rumors about her being pregnant
I don't know why they were kicked out of where they were living before...

My uncle is very angry and I'm about to cry but my apartment is supposed to be mine and peaceful and that is rediculous...

I'm glad you refused. It's hard to deal with someone so manipulative, but "NO" is all it takes. You don't need to discuss it again, or hear him out. No means no.

I don't think you should take them in. It is hard to live with another couple in the same house.

Good job at saying NO. You did exactly the right thing and you don't have to explain your reasons to anyone.

And they are still in high school and have no income... I'm not a parent either

If it’s bad for your comfort & safety then you shouldn’t have them in your apartment: that’s all there is to it.
You definitely shouldn’t be taking on a teenager with a history of violence on someone else’s say so.
NO was the right answer.

Why isn’t he putting them up at his place ...he had space there for you not that long ago: why not them?

Well done . You need to distance yourself from your uncle, he is trouble and takes advantage of you whenever it suits his agenda. Sometimes no relatives is an infinitely better option than those who harm you or exploit your naivety and good nature. He is a bully and you have every right to maintain a safe personal space, refuse to discuss it further is what I advise.

If it’s against the lease, you can’t do it; otherwise, you will be evicted.

Good job on saying no!

^ I suspected as much.

Well done resisting his attempt to offload his problem into you.

In plain everyday Russian, невозможно!

Impossible!

Glad you refused. He can find another relative willing to take them in, or he can buy them a trailer and park it in his backyard. Definitely not your problem, and would definitely not be in your interest to take them in.

Do you know the saying "Not my circus, not my monkeys"?

It applies here.
