I had a neighbor in my mobile-home park who died about two months ago. I’ll call him “Ted.”
Ted’s brother “Les” called me–I have an ad posted in the park–to clear weeds on the space occupied by his deceased brother’s mobile home. A month passes; I don’t see anyone else on the site (and one of Ted’s neighbors is looking to buy the place); I finally call Les again and I do some more cleanup, for which he pays me (again).
The park management has posted a notice ordering Les to remove an enclosure at the back of the driveway; as well as appliances, carpenters’ tools and workbenches, a motorcycle (the engine was removed and sits next to the bike on concrete blocks), and an automobile, along with other assorted items that are within the enclosure.
I don’t want to rock the boat, but I’d sure like to know how much rope the management will give Les before he metaphorically hangs himself–i.e., the park seizes the mobile home and the stuff around it and has it carted away…
I don’t think there is much they can do if the lot rent is being paid.
This advice may be completely incorrect; there may very well be covenants (deed restrictions, municipal ordinances, etc.) requiring the lot to be maintained to certain standards.
IANAL.
