Someone is living in their mobile home on our property with no lease and no payments. They have been given a 30day verbal to move and then a 10 day notarized written to which they ignored both. How do we proceed to get them off the property

Alabama has a self-help law for landlords. Its easy for you to file your own eviction proceeding.
Just visit the Office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court in your county, ask for an eviction form (the official name of which is an unlawful detainer form), fill it out, give it back to the... View More

You haven't provided enough information to enable anyone to provide you with an intelligent answer.
Why is the land still in your mother's name? If its your mother's land what's your best guess as to why your aunt thinks she can charge you rent? Who owns the trailer?... View More
My lease requires landlord to notify if any change of address or identity to landlord agent, but it does that my current lease will be null/void. Am i required to sign a new lease? Or does the new agent have to honor my current lease?

When a property changes ownership, the new owner is bound by the terms of the lease in place unless there is specific language that states otherwise in the contract you signed.
He did not have a will.

You can always open an estate under the Alabama Small Estates Act. This will give you the ability to recover his property and have access to any accounts he may have had. You can only do this if he owned no land, if you are related very closely to him and if he left less than a set amount of money... View More

You must evict him according to the procedures set out in the ALabama Landlord Tenant Act.
I would like to get things started before driving up for the court date, serving them etc. No rent paid in 6 months.

Looks like a normal eviction matter to me. I assume the lease has expired. You simply give the tenant a notice to quit in writing (normally 30 days, but may vary depending on the law in your state). If the tenant has not moved by the expiration of the notice, you sue to evict. You would allege... View More

This doesn't appear to be a civil rights matter, unless you can prove that what happens was motivated for reasons related to your race, sex, sexual orientation, ethnicity, etc. It appears to be a simple landlord-tenant matter, which any lawyer in your jurisdiction can handle. If the lease... View More

Have you read the lease. It will probably say that the tenant is only authorized to have two people living there. So if the tenant does not kick you out, then the would probably have to file an eviction for breaking the lease.
They agreed to pay me rent $750.00 then I agreed to drop it to $500.00 to help them out and they have not paused in seven months

You evict them as any other month-to-month tenant. I assume you mean you don't have a written lease with them. That is not required. You only have to show that there is an agreement that the tenant would lease or rent the premises from you. If you can show that by testimony in Court, and also... View More

No. From a legal standpoint, you are basically the same as any other adult renting a room from them. They can, however, evict you from their home and let you go find your own place to live.
