@Christian MartinezDon't know about TX because it has so much land and the laws in rural areas could be different than OH.

BTW, my son-in law is from Bulgaria, thanks for following me BGCharles

I am going to say this will depends on local laws.  

If you don't know the legal procedure in your state, contact an attorney.The process may goes something like this, depending on state laws: The will, if he has one will determine what happens to his belongings. 

She told me that Texas State law now prohibits comps from being given out.

Most state/county laws I do not think would let you evict or end a lease in the middle of the term for late rent payment (assuming they do pay before eviction day).I'm also unsure if you can refuse future payments via personal check.

 @Rob ChamberlainGoogle "Wisconsin Residential Landlord-Tenant Law" and check-out the info on the Wisconsin State Law Library website (wilawlibrary.gov).

Do you know offhand if that law still applies if I make it clear that I'm soliciting LOAN funds?

We have been told (but we are very skeptical) that because of responses received from Rishel Consulting Group, the Illinois Manufactured Housing Association, the Wisconsin Manufactured Housing Association, the Texas Manufactured Housing Association, the Manufactured Housing Institute, and two law firms, that chattel lending for manufactured homes will be written out of the legislation.The challenge, and the reason I posted this, is that everyone in the industry needs to be on the alert for when the model legislation reaches their state legislators to make sure chattel lending for manufactured homes is, in fact, exempt from any legislation the legislators may pass. 

I don't know your local laws, so first, you want to make sure what you're planning on doing is legal in your area.
