Need disclosure statement when selling Mobile/Manufactured Home as-is?

Thanks Eric. I'm trying to inform unwary RE professionals and MH owners with as much info as possible.

No Doubt Sahara and Lester.

Thanks again Hella. Regarding your question about rental/lease agreements, I'm trying to find a generic one I can share with you. I actually have a 30 year lease agreement with right of 1st .approval to purchase our spaces when the park communtiy goes up for sale for the MH's I own in Leucadia. 

But that's the execption and not generally the rule. Most MH Park Communities only offer a month to month or a 1 year rent/lease agreement. 

My pleaseure and responsibility Hella. Keep your eyes open for a lot more information coming down the pipeline. Also if you really want to keep a pulse beat on the industry I'd love to invite you to join our group and by all means feel free to post to it anytime and I will always be happy to reblog them.

Not unless you can prove that the previous owner actually knew about the drainage issue. Proving that is not an easy task. All they have to do is deny it and the burden of proof is on your shoulders. 

The only other possibility is to speak with neighbors to find out if they have similar issues and if they've ever complained to the park management/owner and the have made no attempts to eradicate or mitigate the problem. If this were the case you could consult with an attorney who has experience in park owner neglect, landlord abuse and bullying cases whence you could file a class action lawsuit against the owner. 

Do know, however, that this is a long drawn out battle that can take years to settle. You will need to rally many neighbors who would be willing to join you in the action. There are attorneys that will take a case like this on a contingency basis. However, they would circulate questionnaires among the park residents with extensive questioning and interrogation before moving forward with the case.

I have been an expert witness for decades and have worked on many cases like this. Most of them have been successful and have ended well for residents resulting in multi-million dollar cash and punitive damage awards. But any/all plaintiffs will be dragged through several depositions and court appearances so be ready, willing and able for a long drawn out battle. Many plaintiffs will grow weary, become discouraged, move and perhaps even die or be bought off by the defendants. 

Depending on where the park/development is located I have several class action litigation specialists that have won millions of dollars for thier clients over the years. Hope this helps and good luck.
