The manager sent a leyter evicting me because he stated my mom has been gon since jan. Lie its feb. & since she wasnt coming home & no longer lives here I have 45 days to get out. Move the mobile home in 1 letter. I was devastated. Noone told me she wasnt coming home. Where did he get his info?? I own the home as well but am on lease as a caregiver. Im 66. He sent me 2 letters and i am in no way shape or form ready to pack all this up and move. How could he do this???? I am so stressed out to the max. What can i do??

Your original question was 2 1/2 months ago and Mom is still not home? Seems to me she may be never be coming home? If you don't have POA, you can't sell Moms house. Did you contact your Housing Dept?

He told you, your not on the lease so you have no tenant rights. If your not on the deed to the trailer, you don't own it. Is it an very old trailer? We had a trailer park go 55 and up. The residents who had children were grandfathered in as were those under 55. Those that passed, if the trailers were old, they had to be removed. The newer ones sold. Really some of those trailers looked like a good wind would topple them.

I am surprised and feel that there is information you are not giving us. Why in the world would they ask you to leave if you are keeping up the property, are maintaining, and are paying the space rental? You are 66 so you would already qualify for those Parks that have stipulations about age requirements.

Moreover, you are correct that he cannot predict whether or not your Mom is returning, and cannot have information regarding this. Though, let's be honest; it is a good guess isn't it? If your mother IS coming back, then a letter from her MD should be sufficient to vouch for that. If she isn't, you might consider being honest, showing your ownership papers and applying for the space in your own name.

Do know that evicting someone from their SPACE in a Park is difficult to accomplish if they own the trailer. Most are permanently installed with foundations, and etc. It won't be easy to do, and it will be a good deal easier to allow you to transfer the trailer which is in your name to space which you apply for. It would require paperwork giving up your mother's rights.

You currently are asking a Forum of utter strangers to guess at what the circumstances are. You would be much better to rationally and with all information, approach the manager of the Park. Am wishing you the best.

The reason for the eviction is that i am considered a caregiver not a lease holder and he claimed a couple months ago in the 1st letter she no longer lived at the home and i had to leave. He also stated i had to move the pro0erty. Noone else in the community jhas had to do this. They selk in place. Now we are being sued by him for unlawful detainer. Hes suing for damages?? I pay rent on time every month and meet all the crireria to stay in the age income based park. I did not even know my mom wasnt coming home when he sent me the 1st letter. He did not waste 1 moment of time. It was impossible for me by myself to pack up and move the home in 45days. On top of thst my mon is still recovering. I did not know there was a time limit on recovery. This whole thing has given me so much anxiety at a time i could possibly lose my mom. I sent him a three page letter pleading for.him to stop the eviction and i will sell house. This fell on deaf ears. Hes just mean.

If you can find your Mom's original lease agreement, they you should read it because you may not have a leg to stand on to allow you to stay there. At the same time, you may need to contact and consult with an attorney or tenant's legal advocate since you seem to have legimitate reasons for not immediately vacating the property.

"Meeting the criteria to stay in the age income based park" does not trump what is written in the contract signed by your Mom. You don't get to decide this how or why. Landlords encounter all sorts of problems with tenants and he probably is acting based upon past bad/expensive experiences.

Nonetheless, find yourself an advocate. Communicate with him in writing (email or text) only so there's a record of what he said to you and when.

Also, eviction is usually a 30-day process yet your original post is from July. He's not mean, he's a businessman who has reasons for moving along with the eviction. This is now a legal battle, and my advice to you is to find a legal advocacy group or consult with an tenant's attorney.

Have you been paying the lot fee? If this is a 55 and up community, your way over that. Have you talked with the owner? Maybe he not aware of your age. Maybe you can sign a new lease with him. Every County has a housing authority, contact them.

Where is Mom. Read her lease, it may stipulate that if she personally is not living in the trailer after a certain period of time, the trailer must be sold or moved.

Hi, I pay the lot fee on time evrery month. He served us with the eviction because the lease is in her name and i am the caregiver. I do own half if the home tho. I meet all criteria to stay here. I feel he has a hidden agenda to confiscate the lot because it is a better lot than most. I have surpassed the 45day eviction st this point so now we are being sued for damages. I could not pack up all my things and my moms by myself especially when she is still recovering and is trying to come home. Now he has insisted i move the home. Noone else has had to do this. They just sell in place. This is a major uncalled for burden. I sent him a letter before the 45 days hsd passed pleading for him to take back the eviction and I would sell home asap. No way. I dont get the cruelty.

I advise you seek legal counsil. There are fair housing/rental departments in the county that can provide more assistance than this forum. You will need to search your county or town government website and call. It is BEST to speak with someone than email or text. There is too much context that needs to be conveyed properly.

Has there been failure to pay rent? You will need to provide documentation with your legal rep. to confirm that you are in compliance with the rental agreement.

You stated your were sent 2 letters. You will need to provide both letters to your legal rep. for them to access the validity and advise you.

Good luck.

What is the reason for the eviction?
If you are also an owner BUT not on the lease agreement for the land the mobile home sits on then you would have to sign a lease in YOUR name.
If you are not within the age of the Mobile Home Community then you would have to leave since that would be a violation.
All that said...You have been sent a letter. He still needs to go to court to legally evict you from the property. The Judge in court will probably give you 30 days to leave. But the case may take 30 to 60 days to come to court. That does give you a bit more time to figure out exactly why you are being evicted and where you will go.

What is the truth of the matter?
Who has been paying monthly fee?
Is your mother returning to her home or not?
I think you require an attorney consult for options in this.

I’m sorry this is happening! Maybe starting by reaching out to your local area Agency on Aging to see if they have any legal options for low-income seniors. Google the name of your county and “Area Agency on Aging.”

I hope you are able to find some help.

I suggest that you either search online or call a public library to find out whether there is a tenant resource center near you or in your state. Your question has more to do with landlord-tenant law than with elder law.
