mere title does NOT give them right to access.

She should change the locks on the doors. If that does not keep him out, then she should obtain a restraining order to keep him out. Since they had a dating relationship, any violence woudld be domestic violence.
She should then suggest that he transfer ownership of the mobile she lives to her, and she will transfer ownership of the other mobilehome to him. If he does not agree then she will need to hire an attorney to help her resolve the issue.
