As a general rule, only the record title holder (owner) has standing to pursue evictions. It some cases the deeds of trust contain assignment of rents clauses and allow for the holder of the note to have a receiver appointed and/or otherwise seize control of the property which could give them standing to pursue evictions. Before spending a lot of money on what may be a futile eviction defense, some further investigation of the standing of the mortgage co would be recommended.
