Mt mother allowed a woman to put a caravan on her land 3 years ago and didn't charge rent. This woman has fought with her daughter in my mothers hallway, turned up drunk and swearing and recently things have disappeared. The solicitor has been useless and is now handing it over to another solicitor. I just want this woman out of my 81 year old mum's life. Does anyone know the legal process? Serious answers only please.

Sorry, I don't do god.
She is known to have turned down 4 housing association houses and has plenty of cash as she sold her house before moving to my mums.

No way fontofall. This woman has always been pure evil. Even her own mother has had to disown her.

from you writing style i guess that you live in the uk?
may i suggest that a visit to the citizens advice may prove helpfull, failing that you can go to the court and put a restriction order upon her to stop the repeat of what you described,
then you can issue by letter a notice of the intention to charge a ground rent backdated, then give the person 28 days to respond
failure to do so renders her to you for the rent, you can then apply to the court to have her evicted you can instruct a firm of debt collectors to enforce the payment, you sell the bill to them basicly
you do not need to see or speak to this person let firm do it.

Your mother would have to go to the courthouse and file for an eviction. Even though the lady pays no rent, she is stilled considered a tenant, because she has a verbal agreement that she could stay there rent free. All she has to do is tell the judge why she wants to evict her and the judge will sign the eviction notice. Most states give the tenant 30 days to vacate and then they are considered to be trespassing. It won't cost your mother very much, and it's the only way to get the woman off the property if she's not willing to go on her own.

I know that when I get a call like this I tell the people that they need to go to the courts and work up the paperwork to have the person kicked off the land. Once off the land if they return you can have them arrested for 2nd degree trespassing. The only draw back is it could take up to 30 days depending on how backed up the courts are in your area. The only other thing that could be done is for your mother to move and not let the woman come to the new place. But that is hard to do in some cases.

We are currently evicting a tenant.
Serve notice through a solicitor. You will need to give a period of notice, perhaps 2 months. If she does not move, then get your solicitor to apply to the local county court for an eviction order. The court will approve it after about 2 weeks, and give a new period of notice after which time you can employ bailiffs to forcibly remove the tenant. If you do this, get the Court appointed Bailiffs, as they are MUCH cheaper.
You can apply for an eviction on the grounds of harassment, but it costs a lot and is complicated. It is better to be patient and follow through with the above.
The law IS on your side, and you will win in the end, so be brave and hang in there.
Lots of love and good luck,

ps if the solicitor is no help, go to your local Citizens Advice Bureau, and they will recommend a local one who specialises in this particular problem x

THere are papers you have to write to get the process started. In California, you can issue a notice to leave in three days. You should also take the person to court and request that the police be at the home when you attempt to evict the tennant - they can assist in the eviction process. Also, you can get a restraining order to require that the individual stay a certain distance from your property.

1) Security companies will do nothing if they act within the law.
2) You need a new solicitor - and play hardball to get them to act. Have you spoken to the local police? They cannot evict the woman, but they should be able to give advice on anti-social behaviour.
The woman needs to be served with notice to quit, but it is a long process so start now!

I would take a landrover into the field, hook it up and pull it out... once its on the public road the police will have to get involved.... i did this once before when a "police officer" left an old van on my land... no one would do a damn thing, or even listen, so i yanked it out and called the police about the obstruction in the road.... 30 minutes later it was gone and never heard another word....

You should have never went to the law or told anyone about anything. SHould have invited her to a BBQ at your house. Meanwhile a Big ol TOW - TRUCK is towing the trailer to the city dump or to a private side road.
What nobody knows, nobody can prove. Should have been big secret between you and the tow-truck man.. Give him a lil cash..

The owner of the land ( your mother) has to give her notice to move. Then if she does not, you go to court file for a order of eviction, and have the sheriff office evict her.
If this is in the US, it should not be any legal problem at all.

Get the woman very very very drunk-so that she is comatose.
Put her inside the caravan.
Then tow her caravan off the property and dump it miles away from you.
Or you could go away (get an Alibi) and pay someone else to do the work for you about £2500.00 should do.
