RV repossession question
I rented out to own my 5th wheel for someone to live in. They have defaulted on the rent. How do I repossess while they are still living in it?

Incentives to leave is the absolute best outcome to hope for. Do not, under any circumstances, move the trailer, lock them out, turn off the power or anything else. It is amazing but true that even the deadest of deadbeats somehow know every in and out of landlord/tenant law. Take the wrong steps and you will be paying them thousands upon thousands of dollars in damages all while they are living rent free and destroying the trailer in the process.
I have many investment properties. Through experience I found this to be very effective. Approach the tenant and ask if they would accept a cash payment of $500 to move out in 3 days. If they accept return and have some paperwork ready to be signed by the tenant and also have the local sheriffs department available when the paperwork is signed. This has worked %90 of the time for me. The $500 really pi$$es me off but it is a he!! of a lot cheaper than the cost of an eviction. Good luck
