Is evicting from mobile home same as from normal home?

Question

I'm guessing this would be different state by state, but what's the general rule of thumb?  Is the eviction proccess for MH same as normal homes or is it harder/easier?

Well... this is a interesting thread and I would say it depends. If the home is a rental, the same way you might rent a stick built home, the answer is probably yes. If your evicting a mobile home as a park owner, then you need to read the statute to see if different notice or procedures are mandated by a 'mobile home park act' of sorts that might exist in your state.

For example, in many states you need to give 60 days written notice if your making a rule change or raising rents in a mobile home park. Where in a rental, the code might mandate 30 days, or less. Back to the Colorado code, if I raise space rent I have to give 60 days notice, and provide the owners name, mailing address and phone number or the rent raise is not legal in a MHP. For a rental, the rules are different.  So read the statutes as you might have the same property and two different levels of compliance to remain legal.

YES, It is.

Rental Law for Family dwelling is pretty much the same state wide. It only varies for commercial. Which this is not a commerical contract.

In most cases, if you have a landlord/tenant issue (residential cases) - eviction procedures are usually handled the same way whether it be a mobile home, single family, etc. It's best to check with the local landlord/tenant division in your area for more specifics. Hope that helps!
