Q: Im going to be homeless because people will not leave my mobile home for me to live there.
My mother owned a mobile home in moneta, va. She passed away on December 5 of 2020. I have all legal documentation proving my control of her assets, her power of attorney and where the mobile home is titled in my name and my name only. The people residing in the mobile home paid my mother weekly before she passed. Upon notice of her passing these people verbally agreed to give me the rent for December and January knowing it was going to help pay for her cremation. I then got a text message refusing to pay me anything. Demanding to see all of my legal documentation. Which I have and am and have been prepared to show. But now they are refusing to meet with me or speak to me. In a couple days it will be March. And they will owe December, january. February, and March rent. They are not impacted by covid, please help
A: You can file an Unlawful Detainer in Court and ask the Judge for an award of the rent arrearage and for possession. You may have to wait, however, to evict them, if they do not voluntarily move out, as a result of the CDC moratorium on evictions.
