    Unfair eviction
    My cousin lives in a mobile home park. The lease states that one will have violated the lease if the police are called. On Saturday evening, the park manager came over to her house, yelling about her sister's kids going into the daycare in front of her house, getting a toy out of there, and destroying it. She claimed she saw it with her own eyes. She was told that the powerwheel belonged to my cousin's child, and had been in my cousin's yard previously. Not much later, the police came to the house and interviewed her and the kids. The police verified with the owner of the daycare that the powerwheel toy that was broken did not belong to the daycare. The powerwheel was broken alongside the road that is front of my cousin's house, but it is close to the daycare. This discovery shows that the park manager was hasty in calling the police, because the children did not destroy anyone else's property, as the manager claimed. On Monday, my cousin received an eviction notice. On Tuesday, she received a dispossessory notice tacked on her door. Is this legal? What can she do to prevent having to move out of her home?

    Hello j:

    The notice should have said she is to leave OR eviction procedures will be undertaken.. She should LET the landlord take her to court and she should tell the judge what you told us here. The eviction should be stopped.

    But, I'd move anyway. Who wants to live in a park with a crazy landlord?

    Even though the lease was signed the clause about calling the police is illegal. The threat of eviction is likely a bluff. Follow Excon's advice
