In Rhode Island, if you're behind on lot rent and utilities, the park owner can start eviction proceedings, but they must follow the proper legal process. Key steps include:
- Providing a written notice of default.
- Filing an eviction case in court if the issue isn’t resolved.
- Attending a court hearing where you can present your payment efforts.
