RV repossession question

Nope, renters have legal rights even when behind on payments. It varies by location of course and he needs to understand the requirements. Moving the rig could a lot of legal problems and cost.

Written or not the the renter has a legal contract.

If OP let them change title it's no longer HIS.

It's yours, hook up and take it where you want. Give em 24 he's notice.

As others have said, this is not so simple. It depends on the arrangement of the trailer. If it's on your land as a living rental it falls under landlord tenant regulations. If you rented them the trailer and they have it on their land, (even if they are living in it), it's a standard property repossession. If you rented them the trailer and it's on their property but you used a rental lease or in the agreement it's a rental living unit, you may have to follow two sets of regulations. I say, lawyer up and let them guide you.

Take pictures and hopefully you have pictures at the time of rental. You may also have legal requirements to store any possestions left behind.

Do you have a written application and rental agreement? Written agreenemt if legal would be best. Verbal contracts are enforcable but what was said may may be difficult/impossible to establish.

I evicted one person and at every point they filed a counter claim. All were dismissed by the judge but each gave them additional weeks of occupancy. Eventually I got most of the money back by garnishing their wages.

Good points above about a legal dwelling.

Be careful, because if the unit is deemed not a legal dwelling unit, my area in NJ would allow the tenant to reclaim any previously paid rent

A lot of assumptions based on few details.

A 5th wheel is not an apartment, house, or even a mobile home. Where is this 5th wheel, on the OP's property or elsewhere? It has a title no different than a car, so eviction procedures may not even apply.

Talk to an attorney, dont ask for answers on an internet forum.

Around here you legally could not rent a 5th wheel to anyone to live in, or live in it yourself, because it would not meet county codes for minimum sq ft for a dwelling, and probably some others.

The OP put himself in a pickle I think.

In larger cities some law firms do nothing but landlord/tenant. IMO they are less expensive too. Court filing fee in Los Angeles is about $370 except for high dollar rent. Do you have a written agreement with tenants? Was their credit check ok?
