Clarksville, TN asked in Landlord - Tenant for Tennessee

Q: How to get rid of a tenant renting an RV lot on our property? Her and her son have caused damage, Police report filed.

We rented an RV lot to an unknown person and her son, located on our property that we currently live on. They have a vicious dog that has tried to attack several of our family members (rule; no pets), they have low life guest that have caused property damage to our vehicles (police report files) and one person backed into a utility pole near our driveway and blew the transformer. We were without power until the electric company could come and replace the transformer. We offered to pay to have their RV trailer hauled anywhere within 12 miles radius. They agreed on today and now she says they are not leaving yet; after we had scheduled the tow truck. What's next? They need to GO!

A: Hire an attorney to file a Detainer Warrant against the two renters for possession only. If unknown name, then use occupants. It will need to be served personally or posted. Do not get in a fight with them or they will have leverage. After a Judgment for possession, and ten days have lapsed, then your lawyer asks for a Writ of Possession to be issued. And possibly executed by the Sheriff. Do not delay.
