Q: Do I need to hire an attorney? How can I get a copy of my purchase contract?
I purchased my manufactured home on 3/9/2009 and because I purchased it brand new my community had a lifetime promotion they wrote in my purchase contract that I will receive $100 off rent for lifetime. I cannot find my purchase contract paperwork so I went to the office and the manager stated there are 16 other people that has the same issue as my self and she stated because they have changed management so many times they cannot find the contacts. Is there anything I can do or say to make sure I don’t lose that lifetime promotion? She said if I find my contact they will honor it. Is there anywhere I can get a copy of the original contact since they state they also can’t find it? Should I hire an attorney for this because I cannot afford a $100 increase? Thank you!
A:
I'm unsure what an attorney can do for you. It would not be filed with any government entity, and so if the management no longer has a copy, and you can't find yours, you may be stuck.
Since others are having the same issue, and management appears willing to acknowledge they did write that in the contracts, perhaps they would be willing to put that in writing?
