I live in an over 55 mobile home park, and each month we have a problem with our water. A pipe is broken, and the entire park is turned off, usually about 8-10 hours each month. Sometimes we are notified, sometimes we are not. Yesterday 9/16 we were told we would be without water from 9am - 4pm, which means no restroom, no cooking, no shower, etc.. . totally without water. At 1:00 am on 9/17 we still had no water, but the management didn't contact the residents to advise them, we had to call Nevada Water District to find out. They advised us that the repair the park made didn't hold, so the park told them to leave the water off. We have now been without water for 20 hours, and still have not received any word from our park management.
I am 60, work and am unable to take a shower, brush teeth or anything... and told management last time this happened (last month) that I was going to get a motel room and take it off my rent on the first (and include my receipt with my check) and was told that I couldn't do that... that I must just go to work without a shower ("I've done it" said the manager, who of course doesn't live in our park).
Is there any legal action we can take to remedy this? We have all older people who are basically retired, some are ill, and pay between $ 800 - $ 850 per month for our space (which includes our electric and water).
Instead of making the repair correctly so that it doesn't break in another place, they just go from piece to piece, with this kind of problem each month. I have been dealing with this for almost 5 years, and I own my mobile and just rent the space from the park. I know in California you have the right to make repairs or spend 1 month's rent per year for cases such as this, but I'm not familiar with the law in Nevada.
Our entire park would appreciate any knowledge anyone has regarding this issue and thank you in advance.
