Well... I just got evicted for using my front door!

[SEC1078]

He said he could write a letter. ($500) But said he would wait until there was clear evidence of retaliation or harassment. Evident by denying otherwise eligible buyers or by trying to evict the whole mobile home.
He said he would gladly represent us if the owner proceeded with eviction filings but doubted he would file since as soon as he got an attorney they would likely educate him. He said it would be dismissed in minutes as soon as the lease was presented because at will terminations have to expire on or after lease expiration and require "cause" during a lease.
The owner declined the Mexican Nationals and I know the fair housing applies to undocumented; but, wanted something more substantial because a jury may not feel as moved if they were presented as illegal. I was told they had work visas, but people lie...

If a buyer was falsely presented as “illegal,” the one doing such a presentation (and a jury) would need to be educated on the law.

I am glad you have an attorney willing to work with you. Although, based on what you have said, I don’t hold out too much hope that your landlord will suddenly change and become an agreeable sort, I will still hope for your sake that this happens.

Good luck.

Just had the 2nd cash offer and they paid 100.00 for 2 background checks and as they were driving off the owner stopped them ask asked them if I told them they couldn't use the front door. They called me and I called the park owner and he said that was the deal and if I didn't like it I could take the trailer out of the park.

@SEC1078 You really need to lawyer up.

 

[SEC1078]

I lowered the price 5K and they said they still weren't interested and didn't want to be in a park where they couldn't use their door. Park refused to give them their $100 back 10 minutes after they gave it to them so I gave it to them. We trying to find a local attorney but can use the one we already worked with. (He is an hour away so will be less convenient)
Anyone ever wished they were judgement proof so you could handle your own issues? I'm so mad right now I can't even express it.

SOLD!!!!!!!!!!
We dropped the price 4K letting the buyers know the park owner said they couldn't use the front door and we built a nice deck on the back.
Park owner wouldn't approve them until I removed everything from front. Stairs, stepping stones, chairs, hose....
FL allows 5k small claims so I think I'll spend 100 and try and get all 5K.
I'm thinking: 4K reduced sale price for no access to front, 500 for the sales taxes I paid then was unlawfully requested to leave the park 6 weeks later, 1200 for cost of ramp, 16 hours pay for removal of ramp, 750 in paid lot rent where I did not have access to 3/4 of my lot, 350 deposit refused because they said I was asked to leave and didn't by the due date, 100 for the background check they stole from 1 buyer (before they even left the park) that I refunded.
Because I had 3 offers for 18K where they were either denied or walked away after being told they couldn't use the front, I think I can prove the loss of value for unlawful denial of use to the front door and front lot.
Thanks for following along over the past 2 months.
I'll probably post one last time after the conclusion of the small claims case.

Congratulations! And thanks for the update, SEC1078. Fingers will be crossed that the closing on your sale goes smoothly.

We will be interested in hearing on your return to the forum how everything ended up with your landlord.

I wonder if your atty could tell you if it may help increase your odds of a win by bringing pics to court of all the other lots where the tenants added permanent things like the Florida rooms you mentioned a while back BTW thanks for posting your recent news.
