This falls into the “there ought to be a law” category. This press release is from the Wisconsin Manufactured Home Owners Association.
To Whom It May Concern:
You are cordially invited to the Wisconsin Circuit Court eviction process of the last six homeowners, formerly of Hickory Lane Mobile Home Park (MHP). See below for specifics, date, and times. These modest homeowners had no means to vacate and no means to relocate. Through no fault of their own, they will now be stigmatized via this eviction. To date, the State of Wisconsin has shown no urgency in attempting to resolve this crisis and has no language in place to transition them with fair compensation of any kind.
Currently, Wisconsin Law has zero language addressing the problem of Closing of Mobile Home Parks, the last bastion of independent affordable housing-a phenomenon that is occurring nationally due to the rapid escalation of real estate values and redevelopment;
Wisconsin has zero language requiring timely Notification of MHP Closings to residents with homes (valued up to $90,000) in these Parks;
Wisconsin has zero language that addresses fair compensation and relocation assistance to homeowners in MHPs that close permanently.
