Anyone else dealing with ridiculous fees after buying a mobile home?

I never agreed to pay any of these fees from the former tenant. I just paid them because I didn’t know any better… This is my first time buying a mobile home, and I didn’t realize I wasn’t responsible for the past due fees and lot rent from the previous owner. These people have been harassing and lying to me ever since I bought it, like they’re mad I didn’t let them have it for free. It’s been a nightmare. They’ve made what should’ve been a happy experience into the worst thing ever. Now I can’t even live in it or move it to my own property… Has anyone else dealt with something like this?

Man, that sounds awful… I’ve had some bad experiences with trailer parks, but not quite like this. Did you talk to a lawyer yet?

Yeah, I did… They said I might have to sue to move the trailer. Just another headache on top of everything else :weary:

I didn’t know you could be charged for the previous owner’s stuff. That seems illegal or something. Did the park explain why they think you owe it?

Nope, they just said it was ‘park policy,’ but I don’t think they have a legal leg to stand on. Just feels like they’re bullying me.

Sounds like they’re trying to take advantage of the fact that you’re new to all this. Don’t let them push you around!

Totally agree! People like that bank on others not knowing their rights.

Exactly! I just wish I knew all this before getting into it.

Wait, what’s ‘lot rent’? Is that like a fee you pay monthly to park the mobile home there?

Yeah, it’s basically rent for the land your mobile home sits on. Sucks if they’re charging you for the last person’s missed payments tho.

Got it, thanks! Seems super shady they’re trying to pin the previous owner’s rent on you.

Sorry to hear you’re going through this. Mobile home parks can be real nightmares when it comes to hidden fees. Just hang in there and don’t let them walk all over you!

Thanks, I’m trying! It’s just been exhausting.
