The issue of the trailer is separate and apart from the issue of the rental of the land on which the trailer sits. I am assuming that you sold the person the trailer in a private transaction. In other words, it was your old trailer and you wanted to get rid of it and he or she wanted to buy it. It just happened to be sitting in that particular lot. If you had not been the lot manager would you have thought that you had any right to it again? Or to enter the private property to reclaim the trailer? I doubt it so you can not think that you have that right now because you have some connection to the place the trailer wits. If the trailer owner does not pay the rent then your option is to evict him or her - of you have that right as the agent of the lot owner. But you can no repossess the trailer if it has been paid for. Good luck.
