Walk It Through: The Lot That Was Sold
A mobile home on rented land, a buyer who will build, ninety days' notice, and a family turned away.
The owner of a mobile home park sells the land to a developer who will build storage units.
Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.
One park closing and one search for a lot. Moving costs, a sale of the home itself, lot rent increases and a park for older residents are not worked through here.
A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
