Mobile Home Eviction Rights

Summary

In Illinois, a judgment for possession typically affects the land, not the mobile home if owned outright. If a summons was served via public notification, you may challenge the judgment if you believe proper service was not achieved. Personal belongings, including vehicles, should be notified before removal. Consider filing a motion to vacate the judgment if you did not receive proper notice. Gather evidence and prepare to present your case in court. Consulting with a local attorney can provide specific guidance on your case and potential remedies.

In Illinois, if a judgment was granted without serving a summons, it might be worth looking into whether proper legal procedures were followed. Generally, a judgment for possession typically means the land or property the mobile home sits on, not the mobile home itself if you own it outright. However, you should consult with a local attorney to understand how this judgment affects your mobile home and personal belongings.
Have you considered challenging the judgment or appealing the decision?
when the first summons was returned no service the mobile home park owner elected to use public notification for summons on alias summons
In Illinois, if a summons is returned with "no service," using public notification for the alias summons is a legal method for notifying a defendant. Here are a few points to consider:
- Public Notification: This involves publishing the summons in a local newspaper or similar medium. It's used when the defendant can't be personally served.
- Challenging the Judgment: You may challenge the judgment if you believe proper service was not accomplished. Consult with a local attorney for guidance on this.
- Possession Judgment: Typically affects the land the mobile home sits on, not the mobile home itself if owned outright.

no my truck sits on the property as well as my enclosed moving trailer my personal possessions are in what will happen to them
In Illinois, if there's a judgment for possession of the land, the property owner may have the right to remove items from the land. Here's what you can generally expect:
- Truck and Trailer: They might be considered personal property, and you should be notified before any action is taken.
- Personal Belongings: You may have the opportunity to collect your belongings before any removal.
It's advisable to consult with a local attorney to clarify your rights and next steps. If needed, they can help you challenge the judgment or negotiate with the property owner.
