[WSBARP] mobile home on daughter's property

[Scott Russon]

I believe the eviction moratorium would apply here.  Depending on the condition of the mobile home, it can be moved to another location such as a mobile home park that has an open space, but that would require a lease for monthly space rent and it sounds as if she is not paying any rent now and would need to afford paying space rent.  She could also sell it to someone that could haul it off the property and flip it.

The issue with moving mobiles homes is the thousands of dollars it costs to move it, and whether the home is in a condition that it could even be safely moved.  If its run down, good luck finding someone that would move it.

Maybe the property could be sold at a higher price and include the mobile home with some of the sale funds going to the mom?  In these times, having a “mother-in-law suite” like may be desirable to some.  Of course, this goes back to the condition of the mobile home.  It seems the daughter and son-in-law have a direct interest in working out a solution with mom since she doesn’t have any money and the mobile home will affect the sale of their property one way or another.

Subject: [WSBARP] mobile home on daughter's property

I have a client who, about 15 years+ ago sold her home, and bought a mobile (double wide) and moved on to property owned by daughter and son in law.  drilled a well... etc.  $30,000 invested.  owners have decided to sell the land and client has been told to move it off property.  client is a low income senior citizen with no money and a small mortgage.  any suggestions? would gov. moratorium slow it down?
of course nothing in writing and in fact the verbal agreement was she can stay as long as they own it...  so adverse possession won’t work.
thanks
Josh
