When I moved in with my grandfather, back in 2012 I didn’t know that things were gonna get to this point. My grandpa had a 5 bypass heart operation and the new manager that came aboard decided that she really didn’t like my son, I’m not sure the real reason why. I just know that she harrassed him like crazy. It seemed she was leaving us letters almost everyday. Nothing he did was right or tried to do would satisfy her. After a while of ignoring her he finally said enough is enough..I’m not gonna let her run my life anymore. So he started to speak up boy did she not like that at all. I remember this one particular day when my son was outside cleaning out his truck she came up and started in on him and stood at the edged of my drive way screaming at the top of her lungs and calling him ” ur a damn moron!!” I thought to myself ” that isn’t very professional at all” she has not respect for anyone. My grandfather fell outside trying to get into his car, her maintenance/groundskeeper helped him to the porch,another gentleman helped him up but he had food in his car so he had to go. When my grandpa called her to tell her that I would be staying with him for a while until he got back on his feet pretty good. The 1st thing out of her was “her son isn’t gonna be there is he? When my grandpa asked her if her maintainence/grounds keeper ever told her that he helped him up when he fell and she said “yes”.” My question that I had to that situation also was if she did know why didn’t she come down and c how he was and not just ignore the fact that someone just fell. Back in 2013 we got a letter from her attorney I believe that stated we as in me and my son were “habitual rule violators” and that if we don’t vacate the premises by this certain date that she wouldn’t renew my grandpa’s lease for 1014. As she would put it my son and I were evicted. But we never got served with eviction papers. She has state to me that my son is a evicted tenant so he’s not to be on the premises. But to this date he has never recieved a restraining order so does she really have the power to keep him away? And can she really not renew my grandpa’s lease even though we were never ever truly evicted nor did he ever get a restraining order. There are some people that get by with stuff here that others can’t. He did have a big truck back then and yes it was loud but, not anymore than other people that have big trucks that also live in the park. I just feel that we were bullied and now if I say something to her she won’t renew my grandpas lease.
I could really use some help. Can she continue to bully and use their leases against them to keep them quiet?

I have lived the River Springs Estates Mobile home park in Michigan for about fifteen years. I got my baby in April 2011. I wasn’t being bothered in the beginning but lately they were complainig about his weighted so I got him weighted got him licensed & got the only shot in the state of Michigan required. Now they are trying to tell me he is aggressive. I have never had a violation on my baby being aggresseve. I am a child care provider & I have asked the children that I watch if they think Little Man is aggressive or mean? They all have told me no! Myself three of the children that have been in my care & two of the childrens mother were walking around & got charged at by a dog. We went & told the manager & she told some friends of the resident that if they didn’t put the dog on a leach or chain she was going to write them another violation. How is that fair? They drive by my home looking into my windows & door. I lvoe my baby so much he means the world to me!! And I don’t want to get rid of him he means the world to me!! A close friend of mine & myself are hopefully going to be moving out in October/December area. I have no wher eelse to go so that I can keep working ( child care) & keep my baby!

I lived in this Mobile Home Park now for 5 years, and seen 3 managers come and go. The new manager we “may” get is someone who lives in the park, and who NO one likes. He has no college degree or back round in a job like this. I want to know is there anything we can do to keep this person from getting this job? Because if not than its time to move! Please help us!!

I own my mobile home and have been in the park for about 3 years. I find that Mobile Home parks and owners are considered second class citizens at best. People treat you very differently when you tell them you live in a Mobile Home park. They consider the park homes as “trailers” and not mobile homes – there is a difference, but most do not know what it is so they think you are low class. I will be selling my home so I am removed from the stigma even though I like my home. Yes, I do care what people think. My family does not care one way or another, but I do. I wish the ignorant people would not judge.

I am new to the Mobile Home Park. I pay rent and was required to sign a lease. A lot of my neighbors are slobs in which I was not aware when I bought the home. My home was well maintained. I just wanted to retire in a quiet park and not have the noise of close neighbors in an apartment complex. I am not happy and want to get out of the lease so I can sell the home even at a loss and just move. The park is old and pipes and underground cables are rotten. The managers staff are incompetent – they cut a gas line thinking it was a water line. We almost had a “San Bruno” disaster here ! I am “stuck” here because after all the research I find that there’s no way out unless I pay the remaining years rent. Any advice would be appreciated.

I am having very similar problems with the manager of our Mobile Home park. I have been very stressed because of the harassment I have received from the nasty woman. She has come to my door at 10PM, claimed to record my children riding skateboard (when they don’t own any) refused to show me the alleged “video”, called me names when I call her for information, and hangs up on me on a regular basis. Mind you I have not raised my voice once. I tell you all of this because I did not know what to do either. Then I did some research and found the California Civil Code with all of my (well our) rights. Im not sure what state or city you are in but there should be similar laws available for your specific state. Also call the center for social advocacy in your area. They will not only guide you to file a complaint but also help you open a harassment lawsuit if necessary. There is also the National Conflict Resolution Center. They will provide you will free mediation and document the outcome. If management fails to attend or comply during the mediation, you will have an instant case. In the even that an agreement is made and you are still having the same issues with management you will have an unbiased third party witness to your agreement that management would be in violation of. You have the right to request the OWNER of the actual park’s mailing address to file a formal complaint about the unprofessional manner of the park management. The management will have to give you the information in WRITING. You also have the right to request every complaint by management to be made in writing to avoid confrontation. If you ask the manager to do so, he will have to comply with your request. Stay strong and don’t let him be a bully. Our moho manager is a real witch with a capital B! She drives by my house every night at LEAST four times and stares right into my window. I just smile and wave so she doesn’t know that she gets to me. The last piece of advice that I can give you is to remember that this is YOUR home. Don’t let that jerk make you uncomfortable. You are his customer and deserve to be treated that way. Document EVERYTHING! I mean dates, times, and conversations. Good luck my friend!

i moved into my current home 8 years ago. the first incident with park manager was when he came to my home when i was not home and began screaming at my elderly mother for something i did. i cant remember now what it was but i confronted him saying that my mother has a heart condition and he is lucky i dont punch him for it. i was really angry about this.he said he would have me in court if i did. of course i didnt do it.then it was numerous complaints making up a story that i didnt cut my grass (i always cut my grass)parking in a parking area that i had been parking in for 8 years ,one too many cars(i had 3 cars other neighbors have 3 and 4 cars at their homes.)then i discovered the manager had a click in the park.he and this click began spreading nasty rumors about me.not sure but i know one of them was that i lied about a back injury.i had surgery on this supposed lie have had numerous and various treatments for what remains. i also take pain medication.certain members of this click have children that have vandalized my property.they put a basketball net at the end of my parking area and when i am pulling in or backing out they become verbally abusive and stand in the way of my vehicle so i cant pass.i believe they are using their kids to do this because if it were the adults doing this i would have them in court.i also caught one going through my mailbox.its pretty sad when parents use their kids to fight their battles.is there anything i can do about this or is it a lost cause?

My manager had a bad reputation when I moved into the park and he proven it correct. I’ve seen him lie to protect himself. He actually said to me that he did care about the tenants. Today, he told me I was a problem. He needs some serious action taken on his actions. I will not in this park any longer because I know there is a place that is supposed to be free and loving, not uncaring and complaining. I plan on sending forms to the attorney General about the situation, as well as, the Manufactured Housing Authorities’. I am quiet person and wants’ to be left and alone. It’s unfortunate other’s bad personalities force me to such measures to protect myself.

I live in a mobile park my father in law left to my husband and his siblings. Just went to an eviction trial and I won the judgment. The questions, is my husband’s bother also lived here but moved out before we went to trial I am trying to remove him from the lease to prevent him from moving back with his girl friend because of domestic violence? Please advise whether or not his name can be removed from the lease because of abandonment. The manager states because my husband and I still live here the bother is able to return without having to pay the past due rent we ended up paying.
