    Question Property Rights Dispute

    I have a relative who needs legal help for a property/land rights dispute in Washington state.

    Every relevant detail I can think of:
    • Relative owns the house
    • Relative moved out of the house (after being antagonized by property owner)
    • The house has been paid in full for some time
    • The house is too old to be moved off of the property
    • The property (under the house) is owned by a hostile 3rd party
    • The 3rd party won't buy the house for any reasonable amount
    • The 3rd party is renting the house for profit in the owner's absence
    • The 3rd party won't let the house owner move back in


    What possible courses of action can I help the house owner pursue?

    Thank you for any information.

    So we're talking about a manufactured home, titled to your friend but located on somebody else's land? Your friend can move his home to a different location, or sell it to somebody who is willing to do so. If it's not worth the cost of moving, it's difficult to believe that it has any meaningful market value.

    Your friend may be able to get an injunction preventing the lot owner from renting out the home, but that will likely cost more to obtain than it would cost to move the home, let alone what the home is worth.

    Update: The owner sold the property for about 1/4 market value to the land owner.
