wrongful eviction?

Question

Please help. I been in this trailer park for over a year. The other day I got home with a note on my door saying, undiserable tenant. (eviciton notice) The next day I talked to the manager to ask for a better reason. She told me more than 12 others have the same thing. Today I found out from my neighbor that 20 other's got the choice to put siding on the trailers so they can stay. I called the manager and asked if I can do the same. She flat out said no! I asked to have the owner to call me. She said, "he's not talking to anybody!" This has to be against a law of equal living rights! Should I get a lawyer?

Answer 1

This does sound like a wrongful eviction. Do you know any of the people that got the choice to put on sideing or leave ? If so, go talk to them in person. Ask them if they will go to Legal Aid as witnesses with you (or give you a notarised statement) when you file a wrongful eviction suit.
If 3 or more people go in on the same suit it is called a class action lawsuit. The judge will pay more attention to it and so will the park owner(s).
The park owner(s) made a huge mistake which will win the case
for you and the other tenents. The owner did not provide proper notice. Every state in the United States has a clause in the
landlord tenent laws about proper notice.
What your park owner would of had to do is MAIL a letter to each one by CERTIFIED MAIL. The letter would of had to state concrete reasons why the landlord considered you and the others undesirable tenents. (Stuff like lease violations, late payments,
trash laying around, loud parties, calls to police for stuff, etc, etc.)
Then, after giving the reasons, the landlord would have had to give you a 7 day notice to fix the problem(s) if you have a six month to a year lease. If you have a month to month lease
48 hours to fix the problem(s).
Do you know who the park owner is ? Ie...his/her name and address. You'll need it for Legal Aid. You'll also need the
manager's full name and address, as well.
It sound's to me like the owner's are looking to sell thee property and want the place to look great (new siding , etc.)
Do you own the trailer you live in ? If so, after the court case is over, I'd consider moving it to another location, anyway.

I lived in a trailer park for 9 yrs. The one I lived in had a rule that the trailer could not be older than 10 yrs. old to be in the park. Maybe they have a similar rule. Also, they make the rules on how your trailer must work. If they require siding, then you have to put it on or move. Check and see why you weren't given the same concideration and ask if your trailer doesnt make their code. Unless there are a set of rules in place that you had been made aware of, and havent caused any trouble, the same concideration should have been made to you.
However, its the same with apartments. If on a month to month lease, we do not have to give a reason why we want you out. Only if you have a 1 yr or more lease.

You need a laywer fast if the management if treating you differently than the others who were given notices. If all notices were the same "to put skirting up or move" then you have the right to put skirting up. And there should be a date for compliance.

Property managers even in trailer parks must follow the law. They can not evict you without just cause and they must give you resonalble notice unless you did not pay your rent or fees. Then they follow a different guidelines for eviction.

Every state is different but all must follow similar protocol. I suggest you talk to your neighbors right away. What are they doing? What paperwork did they all recieve? Is it the same as yours exactly? What options were they given for compliance?
Any date?

If yours is identical to theres they must allow you to abide by the rules and they can not evict you. This being the case as long as you are current with all your bills to them like rent, utilities, trash etc. If you did not pay one of the bills and are not current they can issue you other papers or add it to your eviction.

Get an attorney. If you can not afford one go to your local Family Resouce Center as they many times have free counsel. Ask around, even at churches as they can recommend these services. But you must be low income to get their help.

This does not sound right to me. And the managers or owners can not play favorites with tenants as they all follow the same regulations. Get Help fast.

Answer 4

I would definitely talk to a lawyer. It sounds discriminating that he is not allowing you to stay by putting siding on your trailer when he is giving the choice to 20 other tenants. A lawyer should help though. Check out www.hud.com. On the right hand side you will see a column that says 'Information For'. Check out the information under tenants and the information under the landlord section. I hope this helps. Good luck!

Answer 5

i'm undecided in case you sister could have a case for wrongful eviction in the event that they served a three day pay or supply up and your sister agreed to bypass out as quickly as served with the awareness, because of the fact that at that factor a pay or supply up is in uncomplicated terms a required observe for a landlord to deliver earlier they might pass in courtroom for eviction in spite of the undeniable fact that it isn't any longer a appropriate eviction order That reported, below a pay or supply up observe, the owner is offering in case you progression the hire is terminated and if the tenant leaves the owner is unlawful from in seek of destiny hire, because of the fact the owner observe is offering words to terminate i.e. you the two treatment the undertaking or go away So in my view if your sister acted below the stable faith and supply up the unit because of the fact the awareness reported then the owner is unlawful from amassing destiny hire because of the fact the owner terminated the hire

Answer 6

Trailer park tenants have zero rights to reside at the property. It's even worse when a land manager sells the land to a developer, and all the poor, old people are suddenly homeless!

It's their land, and you are borrowing it. They can evict for no cause at all.

Buy a house...that is the best solution.

Answer 7

Equal living rights? You are talking about someones property. You don't have rights to live there against their will. Doesn't that sound absurd to you? You want someone to just move into your living room and cry "equal living rights"?

You have the same rights as they do, you have the right to purchase your own property. If you want guaranteed rights to live where ever you want then you need to make the purchase.

Answer 8

THey can't evict you without going to court and having a judge decide. Talk to a lawyer about your legal rights.

Answer 9

sure, get a lawyer, but before you do, talk to her again, telll her that u'r getting a lawyer, and ask her again, why you have to leave, and why others don't have to leave, if you want, you can wear a wire, in case she says something discriminatory.

Answer 10

Depends on where you live. Different states have different laws.
