**A: you have a serious problem because you decided to be your own real estate agent and attorney. You did not place protections for you in the contract, did not use the proper contract form and did not notorize and record the contract.
If your property concerns real property rather than just the mobile home itself, you need to hire an attorney. Otherwise go to small claims court.

thank you for your reply it was very helpful and what can i say you learn from your mistakes. instead of going to small claims court and all the legal fees that involves could i not force them to move out of my mobile home so i can place it with a realator ....it is just a mobile home there is no real property involved.and the home is still in my name.

**A: in that case, since there is no real estate involved, the sale involves personal property. Since you still have title, evict them.

**A: August? That's your problem, you are letting then get away with things. Hire an attorney now and do things right from now on.

Here is your first thread.

i served them with an eviction notice and they replied back that they have a lawyer and thier contract is valid and they do not have to move so now what i cannot afford a lawyer because i have to pay to have the house moved is she bluffing? can i have the house moved anyway with her things still in it? I dont want her things but I want my house can a judgement be awarded forcing me to sell her my house and leave it in my name? stopping me from getting any thing else financed? any help would be appriciated thank you
