Barely Got Out With Our Lives
My daughter/boyfriend and toddler were renting a mobile home with inadequate safety standards. Due to the fact that they were young and hadn’t any credit, they moved into this home with the stipulation that the landlord would make the necessary repairs. Hey…what can I say, they were young and the place was across the street from the beach in Newport. Any kids fantasy. Well, in this case…it turned into their nightmare. The landlord ignored any requests to have the electricity repaired. After their first week there, the electricity blew out in the back half of the home. A couple of months later the electricity still was not repaired, a circuit overloaded in the front of the mobile home burning it to the ground, destroying everything the family owned: including, the car and two cats. They literally ran out of the house naked, with the baby. The landlord offered them nothing for reimbursement…not even a hotel room for the night. What recourse do we have??? And what type of attorney would handle this? They are still having difficulty trying to cope with the trauma and get back on their feet. The incident happened in the middle of June 2006. Any suggestions? Please advise.

I carrying a loan on a mobile home, which is now in default. What is the next s
My grandmother owned a mobile home and sold it to a woman for $15,000. She carried the loan for the whole amount. The sale was done December 23, 1994. My grandmother passed away and deeded me the rights of the oustanding balance. Although my grandmother did not know it according to the loan agreement if the buyer was late on a payment the loan could be due at that point for the balance and any payment after that was interest only. The buyer made late payments starting as early as March of 95! Also they have not made a payment since July of 2000! What should I do? If I take back the property I could maybe sell it for $25-$35K when fixing it up. What is the first step and how should I proceed. I have had many different ideas such as offering the buyer $1,500 to give back the property and leave, or just evicting them.
Thank you for your wisdom.

I am thinking about buying an owner financed mobile home but the home isn’t in her name as her mother died suddenly a year ago at 69 and she didn’t have a will and it never went thru probate and she doesn’t want it to because it can take years, is there a way to do this? The space rent is behind $5,400 can they go after the daughter or myself for this? I really want this mobile how can this be done?

I manage a mobile home park in california we rent spaces to mobile homes and trailers. We had a tenant that moved a trailer on a lot many years ago and was paying the rent on the lot in sept of 2007 the payments stoped coming. we sent out all the proper papers to his address he contacted us and explained that his mother took care of paying all of his bills but had died .so he sent us a check and cought up on the overdue amount and stoped paying againand that was november of 2007 we sent all the right papers again but got no response we then filled with the court and posted pay or quit and abandinment notices on the trailer and sent copies to the tennant with no response. In lite spring of 2008 sombody saying that he was brother of the tennant and that our tennant had also died and the trailer was there dead mothers and not his. we informed the brother that he could not remove the trailer until all the back rent had been paid and he left.we then found out that the trailer was put into probate so we hired a lawyer threw a mobile home assoc.and he was useless didn’t know what he was doing we are now in summer of 2009 we reciveda letter from the estate informing us that they were going to forfit the trailer to us to settle tha debt and send all the paper work to us it is now april 2010 and have not recieved any paper work at all.
My question is how do we get a title for this trailer so we can sell it to recoupe 16 -18 months of back rents
