Thanks. I kind of figured the ship had sailed. The only thing that got me thinking of it all again was working with Vocational Rehab....so I thought I'd look into it.

At the time this happened, I never made a complaint and should have...mostly a combination of severe depression, anger, and not fully understanding the laws. Basically, back in 2003, I worked as a police dispatcher and had numerous pain-related problems for some time. I was also developing...

Thanks for the input. He's calmed down now, and has scheduled all of the repairs. As far as the rent, he just wants a payment plan worked out, and my mom also suggested offering to do some odd jobs since he seems so overworked (hehe...get on his good side). No more mention of the dog, and if...

Good to know about the lock...glad I didn't do it :). The landlord has cooled off and now there is no mention of billing us....so fingers crossed.

HIS rules are the biggest reason we were concerned about it. I don't think the rental agreement says anything about responsibility for repairs, but he denies responsibility for injuries...so if we get hurt doing HIS work, we're screwed. I actually thought about just cutting the little wire lock...

When we moved in, our lot was supposed to be 100 amp service, but found out after a fire in the meter breaker box (thankfully not attached to house) that it was 50. Since it was the local utility company kindly checking it for me and they didn't have breakers, I went to the hardware store and...

Been having issues with my landlord, and I hope I can explain this well. I live in a mobile home park, and we're currently about 2-3 months behind on rent (own the home, rent the lot) due to unemployment and unexpected bills. My landlord lets people slide on it as long we let him know what's...

*Please keep your personal feelings about the use of wood heat to yourself :)* My neighbors both have indoor wood-burning fireplaces that send smoke into my home. One has mostly quit using theirs, but the other uses theirs all day, every day once the weather gets colder. The smoke is making...

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, the landlord is basically refusing to do anything at this point, as is the county. I'm going to keep pushing them, but looking for other options as well. We'd like to move, but moving the trailer would cost thousands of dollars, and we can't get a home...

First off, I apologize if this is in the wrong category, but it's about a situation with my landlord. I also apologize if this is confusing...it's kind of complicated. I live in a mobile home park in WI. I own the trailer and rent the lot. I have several medical conditions that would...

Thanks so much!

It's me again...LOL. A few years ago, we had a "river" running between a few trailers during a storm. As a result, we have developed a sinkhole between my house and shed, and we think the shed is starting to sink as well. We told the landlord at that time and he was going to take care of...

My mobile home park has had a string of bad landlords, and I have problems yet again with the most recent one....so you'll see a few posts from me while I try to figure this stuff out....LOL. Our park has several septic tanks that are shared among the tenants, and the tanks and piping have...

Thanks...not what I wanted to hear unfortunately :(. He has suddenly decided to restrict all future plantings of trees and shrubs, so we really don't want to lose our only shade. At least the rule was made after the lease came out, so he can't enforce it...unfortunately, we can't afford to buy...

First of all, my landlord lied to me about the condition of the septic system here and the electrical on my lot before we moved in...landlords lie plain and simple. Second, the plumber could have been mistaken about what it was. Even if he found a clog, it doesn't mean it was caused by...
