Evicting Rv Occupant Guide

Summary

In California, evicting someone from an RV without a written agreement involves providing a 30-day notice to vacate, followed by filing an unlawful detainer lawsuit if they refuse to leave. The initial notice should include the date, recipients information, your details, a clear statement to vacate, the reason for eviction, and your signature. If the occupant does not comply, file a complaint in the county where the RV is located, serve the tenant, attend the court hearing, and obtain a judgment for possession. If the court is in a different county, ensure you file in the correct jurisdiction. For specific county procedures, consult the local courts website or contact them directly.

I am trying to find out what to do about my RV. I own an RV and someone else is currently living in it, we had an agreement that they would pay me a certain amount of money however they have not paid me and it's been over a year. How can I evict them and get my property back?

Hi Maddy! Sorry to hear about your situation. In California, evicting someone from an RV can be complex. Could you let me know if you have a written agreement with the person living in your RV?

No I do not, it is verbal

Hi Maddy! Thanks for clarifying. In California, even with a verbal agreement, you may be able to evict the person. Here are some steps you can take:
- Provide a written notice to vacate. A *-day notice is typical for month-to-month agreements.
- If they don't leave, you may need to file an unlawful detainer lawsuit in court.
Would you like more detailed information on how to proceed with an unlawful detainer lawsuit?
