Eviction

Eviction is the legal process by which a landlord or community ends a tenancy and removes a resident. In the manufactured-home context, it usually concerns the ground lease — the right to keep a home on a particular lot — rather than the ownership of the home itself.

A defining feature of many manufactured-housing statutes is that they limit eviction to specific, listed grounds, such as nonpayment of rent, violation of community rules or the agreement, certain law violations, or a change in the use of the land. A community generally cannot evict for just any reason, and eviction is typically a court process with required notices and steps — not something a community carries out on its own.

The exact grounds, notice periods, and procedures vary by state. For how it works where you live, see your state's eviction guide, and for a specific notice, consider consulting a licensed attorney in your state.
