how to get someone out of my mobile home?
I currently own 5 mobile home's in 3 different parks in Las Vegas. So they're considered personal property (not attached to land). I acquired these all with cash. When I sold them (I'm carrying the financing on all of them), I used a MLO, who also is a Manufactured Home dealer to work up the note and transact the sale. So I collected a downpayment on all of them, and I'm receiving between $300-500/mo in payments. I'm the lienholder on the title. My question, in short, is how do I get someone out when they stop making payment's? As I study the terms of the contract that I've put these buyer's in, I should be able to convert them to tenants-at-will, then evict them.
Do anyone with experience know how to do this?
I had one person just leave, and give me the key's back (which was pretty nice). I've got another buyer who is a couple month's late on payment to me and the park...they've gotta go. So if I have to go thru the proper channels to do this, how would I go about doing this?
Thanks

@Steve Morris I'm going through the EXACT same thing as I type this from Pennsylvania. My first tenant buyer problem in 8 years. They got hooked on drugs, but worse still they are using every legal angle of the law against me, and they are the scumbags not paying. They even tried to sue ME in small claims court for $12k claiming all sorts of bogus BS. This has been going on for over a year now. I will tell what I did right and what I did wrong. What I did right, I did not accept any partial payments, I didnt go on the premises or try to shut off utilities etc, or harass them in anyway.
What I did wrong. I initially tried to counter sue in small claims to get possession of my mobile home back since they were suing me anyways. Wrong I had to withdraw my complaint and try it in civil court, but good news was the Judge saw all my paperwork and my notes and saw their demeanor vs mine. He ruled in favor of me not paying. So in civil court, I won a judgement on what was owed in back payment which was 4800. But they still owe me $11,000 on note payment. Since they didn't pay on the judgement, I had to go back to the courthouse to get A writ of execution. I'm awaiting a call from the sheriffs office and I'm going to have him tag their car for possession. Since they are still not paying on the note, I have another attorney working on fully getting possesion of the trailer with some law in PA that I cant even tell you.
What the Judge told me, was because my paperwork wasn't specifically spelled out as a lease to purchase, only a promissory note and an agreement of sale, it did not fall under tenant/landlord law. If I had that verbiage in my note and on my contracts, he would have ruled in my favor and ordered them to vacate the premises, but since it wasn't in there all he could grant me was money judgement. Lesson learned the hard way, and its still an on-gong saga, but I see light at the end of the tunnel.
