[RPPTL LandTen] Mobile Home Eviction/Purchase

[Leonard Cabral]

Pat:
Mobile home statute has a redemption clause but I don't know if it applies prior or after writ of possession is executed so you will have to read it.  The park must also give the proposed person a reason for the rejection and must put it in writing under FCRA so the information in the report can be disputed.  If the statute allow him to redeem before execution of the writ, even if he cannot live there he can sell it.

Subject: [RPPTL LandTen] Mobile Home Eviction/Purchase


Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.  I am sure someone on the list has had this happen at one point or another.


Scenario:

1) Mr. Smith purchases mobile home for $10,000 cash from Mr. Adams after verbal discussion.  Mr. Adams discloses that he is not current on his lot rent and owes a few months rent.

2) Mr. Smith applies for approval from mobile home park.

3) Mr. Smith moves his things into mobile home but not yet living in mobile home as residence because not yet approved.

4) Mobile Home Park gets final eviction and damages judgment (and statutory lien? on mobile home) against Mr. Adams with no notice to Mr. Smith, nor any knowledge of judgment by Mr. Smith.

5) Sheriff serves final writ of possession served on mobile home (no one living there).

6) Mr. Smith for 1st time sees writ of possession a few days after posted, when he goes to check on items in unit (which are still there).  First time Mr. Smith knows about lawsuit final judgment for eviction and damages, which was commenced a few months before purchase of mobile home from Mr. Adams.

7) Park refuses to approve new owner.


What should new owner Mr. Smith do to best attempt to protect the $$ invested in the mobile home??

Thank you for your thoughts.
