I had a visitor overnight at my home and parked nexted to my car in the grass of my yard that I lease for a mobile home. I returned from work the next evening and had a n eviction notice from the landlord saying I have 5 days to move my mobile home. Does anyone know what rights I have and what they have the power to do? Thanks Keith

I have never seen yet a person win a court suite with out a lease for this type of eviction. Always went renting or leasing get a lease sign even if it for a day. That is the only protection a person has to protect themselves from landlords such as this or worse.
Good luck and I hope you get to move the trailer to a place that you will be able to get a lease and have vistors with out remorse.

The first thing to do is to read your lease. Find out if what you did was in violation of your lease. If you did violate the lease read more to see what the landlord rights are if you violate and what your rights are. Do you have a time period to fix the problem? Do you have to receive a warning?
As I understand it, Louisiana law allows for 5 day evicitions. However, you have the right to be heard in court but you only have a limited amount of time to do this. I would suggest contacting a lawyer as soon as possible. If you do not have the resources to pay a lawyer, try contacting the Parish government offices and they can probably direct you to fee or reduced fee legal services. You can also try http://www.calscla.org/, I believe they are in your area. I wish you the best.

What state are you in? In most places he must give you at least 30 days notice and go through a legal process for you to be evicted. Was this a notice from him or something from the courthouse? He cannot legally evict you withut going through the proper legal channels.
