Mobile home on land. Eviction.

[GoodToGo]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida

Asking for a friend who is helping an elderly father with this issue.

The father owns land that he rented to someone who brought a mobile home on the property. The mobile home is owned by the renter. The renter will be evicted this week.

The renter doesn't have the money for rent nor the money to remove his mobile home. The land owner wants to rent the land to another mobile home owner but can't because this evicted tenants mobile home will be left on the land.

What can they do with the empty mobile home? Under what circumstances could they rent the mobile home to someone else? The father needs the income and either wants to rent the land or use the mobile home and rent it. Since it is owned by someone else who is going to abandon it, what can he do?

Thanks

First , is the tenant still staying in the home ?

Second, if he got an eviction, what did the court and / or his lawyer say about the disposition of the home?

Thanks for the replys. The renter told them that he will leave when he is officially evicted. He is there today but will be gone when the Sheriffs deliver the eviction notice.

The father cannot afford an attorney. I do not know how they handled the eviction but I am told that no one is disputing the eviction as legal and proper. I know that the renter has stated he won't fight the eviction. He owes something like $1000 in unpaid rent. Supposedly it costs $2700 to move the mobile home. The renter says he does not have any money and says he is leaving the mobile home on the property.

They are just trying to figure out what to do with the mobile home.

An eviction is a court order.

It is not an agreement between the parties to vacate, nor is it an order from the landlord to vacate.

If the landlord and the tenant has NOT settled the disposition of the trailer than there is no "legal and proper" resolution.

Dad does not need a lawyer to go to landlord / tenant court.
