Q: Can you be evicted 1 year after you terminated your month to month and they have possession of the trailer?
We are being evicted 1 year after we moved out. We turned the title of our mobile and keys when we terminated our month to month. They went into the mobile home the next day. We have not heard from them until today 1 year later. They want to evict us. They have the property and have gone in and out of the mobile home since we turned it back to them. We have not been there for a year and they have our termination of a lease. Also we were able to obtain a new lease else where. I was always told, you can only be on one lease at a time. How can they try to evict us 1 year later? When they have the property. How can they do this?
A: What do you mean by "being evicted"; are you suggesting that they are suing you in court for possession of the premises? That doesn't make any sense if, as you suggest, you moved out a year ago. Are you sure "they" were your landlords or agents of your landlords?

A:
I can file a complaint accusing you of not painting the road in front of your house a certain shade of purple, but that doesn't mean that I am able to state a valid cause of action or have the legal grounds to prevail.
Most people don't know when a complaint is filed, until the complaint is served. If you were served, you have 5 days to answer the complaint. First thing Monday morning, start looking for a lawyer to defend the lawsuit. Assuming the facts are as you state them, this is nuts.
