NJ's eviction laws are quite different from the rest of the country. Here is another link: http://www.nj.gov/dca/divisions/codes/publications/pdf_lti/grnds_for_evicti_bulltin.pdf
I am not legally competent to give advice on the matter, nor am I familiar enough with landlord-tenant law in NJ to even wager a guess, but here is what I do know....1) NJ was regularly brought up in my property law classes as having some very strange qualifications for eviction compared to other states, and 2) the person posting is both a landlord and a roommate, which may legally change the nature of the situation. this is only a personal opinion, not a legal one. Beyond that, an attorney, a legal aid clinic, or a law school clinic is the best option for information.
Another personal opinion, I would be doing anything in my power to get out a roommate who said I don't have the legal authority to evict them as soon as possible because that sounds like one heck of a problem waiting to happen.

You can evict any one from a home but you have to follow the right legal procedures in your state. Contact a real estate attorney to review those steps.

I'm going to echo Joan here, you need an attorney.
NJ has really quirky landlord-tenant laws. I would call the nearest law school and see if they run a clinic or check into a local legal aid line. Both of these options are low or no cost.

The way I see it he is on the hook for the land but not the trailer. That means he may not be able to be evicted from the land except by the lot owner. The trailer is a different issue and question.
If worse comes to worse you could always move the trailer to a different lot. Then I would suspect he would have zero claim as he would not even be living at the same address then.
You could talk to the lot owner. They may be willing to help you especially if they think this could cost them a rental.
Definitely use the links Sunnyview showed and follow the advice you get there.

I would call the NJ Elder Services department here and explain your situation to them. I do not know the laws in your state, but if your grandson is treating you badly and living in the house you own, you may be able to have him removed or get a restraining order so that he is not allowed to live with you anymore.
The Elder Services department can either help you or refer you to someone who can. I know that this situation is hard, but your grandson does not hold all the cards and you have a right to live in peace in the home you own. Get the facts and explore your options.

Situations like this are always so hard- you want to do right by your family but it hurts when they don't seem to do right by you.
I'm afraid what you are need is legal advice and real estate agents aren't qualified.
I hope you can find a relatively painless resolution to your problem.
can i evict my grandson from my mobile home?
