    Eviction of mobile home owner without lot lease
    I purchased a 30 acre mobile home park through a Judicial Sale, which as I understand, voids any previous lot lease agreements, the mobile home owners may have had. This now starts with a new clean slate to provide new lot rent leases, and charge whatever, within reason I wish to charge. So, as I understand it, there are no leases currently in effect, everyone is month to month. My question is, if I wish to terminate tenancy of a mobile home owner, without a lease, and request they remove their mobile home, without any other reason, other that no lease, is that legal in Pennsylvania?

    I will provide all the necessary notices, i.e. 30 days, to leave the premises, and local magistrate notifications.
    Thank you.

    If what you say about the lease being voided is true then as long as you provide proper notices, you should be OK. But I would make sure you have proof that all leases are void.

    Mobile Home Park Rights TO THE INTERIOR OF YOUR MOBILE HOME In a lot of cases, a judge will side with the tenant in this case if there is no reason other than what you state. This is especiallytrue in a mobile home park situation. This is only one link. If you Google, "How much notice to evict mobile home owner in Pennsylvania", you should see several other sites you may want to look into and do some research.

    According to the link posted, it isn't legal. You can only evict for non payment or violation of rules.

    Or, "3. A change in the use of the park or termination of the park "

    I didn't mention 3 because the OP apparently plans on operating the property as a mobile home park.

    If you were a landlord and your tenant was on a monthly basis, that would be a different situation. You don't need a reason other than you want to take back the premises. In your case, I believe a judge would come down hard on you besides throwing out the case. For other reasons, a mobile home owner would need more than 30 days to sell or move his trailer. Depending on the reason, again, a judge will be all for the tenant unless of course it is for reasons stated above by the others.Don't single out one person. You'd be off to a bad start.

    If you were a LL in an apt. or house and NOT a mobile home park. It works differently. My apologies again! I meant to state this above.

    The court would most likely want to look at why you are being selective in evicting someone. As a business person you are in business to rent space and earn money.

    One must be careful not to violate any specific rights, when looking at evictions
