Q: If I own a mobile home inside of a park can I be evicted from my home since I don't own the land
They personally told us they were being racist because of the color of our skin and keep posting a not on our door saying people tell them we are drug dealers so if they hear it again we will be evicted neither of us have a record of any kind and we have our children this is harassment and false accusations
A:
No real way to answer your question via this online forum. The first step is to review the park rules ect to determine what type of rental agreement that you have. If the people are singling you out due to your race there may be an issue in terms of the fair housing act.
You need to consult with an tenant attorney in your area about all of these issues. Once the attorney looks at the parks rules ect, then he or she can give you specific advice of what your options are.
Good Luck,
A: You can be evicted from a mobile home park and required to remove your home, but only if there is a violation of one of the park rules or non-payment of rent. If you are in compliance and pay your rent, then I agree with my colleague, you may need to pursue a Fair Housing Act compliant against the park owner. If you have access to the internet, you can easily research it and file a compliant online. The only other option would be to file a lawsuit for slander, since the allegations are not true, but that is likely to be a costly option for you. Just know that sometimes filing a complaint or lawsuit can make things worse before they get better. If you are in a position to move, you may be better advised to move to a neighborhood of more loving people. Best of Luck! Jennifer
