CA. I own and live in a trailer setting on a (former) friends private property, have been here for a year, rent paid monthly. Today she told me that I have to move it immediately and "you better not leave the trailer alone". I have been planning on moving this 1st of October, in a few weeks. She knows this. I have never gotten a receipt from her but have had internet and phone service (and therefore proof of occupancy at this location). I travel tomorrow to a nearby mountain community to secure a trailer space.
There was a clear threat today to move the trailer into the street or/and what else I don't know.
I ran underground electric service, water supply and laid sewer line to create this space all at my own expense. I tied the electric into a box on an empty house at the front of the property all with the landowners permission and blessing. I pay a flat rate to the landlord for water, electric and space rent so the utilities are not in my name. I have served as a watchman and assisted in many projects on the landlords behalf.
Concerns & Questions:
1)Having only a verbal aggreement with this landlord, can she legally move my trailer off the property without due process? I live in Bakersfield, CA.
2) Can she shut off the electric power legally, or cut the power line as I suspect she is capable of doing?
3) Can I and is it prudent IYO to file/request a restraining order to keep the landlord away from my trailer as I cannot sit here to watch it.
Any other perspectives would be greatly appreciated.
