Removal of Unwanted Guest
My question involves an eviction in the state of: Illinois
I have a couple who were allowed to park a travel trailer on my property while they were "in between" parks. This was supposed to be for a few weeks. It has now becom almost 4 months and it seems that every time they are asked it is always a few more weeks.....They are starting to cause problems and I need to get them removed. Since they claim to be guests, what course of action should I take? Can I have the travel trailer physically removed? keep in mind, they do not pay rent and have offered no services in leau of rent. Please help!!

After 4 months, you evict them.

Ask your local constabulary if they're willing to instruct them to leave as trespassers. If not, you'll probably need to get a lawyer and bring a trespass action of some sort. I doubt this will fit under standard landlord-tenant proceedings, as they're in their own trailer, but your lawyer can advise you as to whether that's a possible approach.
You can try to evict them yourself - an overview of the process can be found here - but this really doesn't fit with a standard eviction scenario so I suggest at least consulting a lawyer first.
