 I am 100% with "gut feelings" even though I do not show properties until I have an application. i still make sure to see and meet every single tenant. The hardest tenants I've hard are acquired. 

I currently have a tenant being evicted for none payment. This tenant is acquired and is clearly using illegal drugs. Now I have another mobile home for sale in the park. during my application vetting I noted that the applicant is friends with said tenant. At first thought "ok, maybe they could be acquaintances". Then as I drove through the park, applicant was at the tenants lot. While tenant is on house arrest. This indicates Pretty good friends. 

My question is can I legally deny his application for association? I have not received aback ground check yet. that is the last step if they make it that far. 

I have a very similar situation. Except the girlfriend wants the boyfriend gone and he don't want to leave. I assume this is a domestic dispute and need the attention of authorities. How should I handle as the Property owner and PM? Both are on a lease for the lot, the mobile is owned by them both. 

 We did contact our attorney, he recommended eviction in 10-15 days. I guess I should make sure he is being charged. The sheriffs office stated he turned himself in so I assumed he was being charged. I do understand they don't loose there rights to a home just from being arrested however, If he is charged. I think we can ask him to sell it back to the park, right?

To dive a little deeper into this. Can you provide and advice a to how to handle obtaining the mobile from the tenant so we can get it cleaned up ASAP? We have started eviction already. 

We are a 58 pad community. We have not ever made a newsletter or anything of the sort. I thank you for your response as my gut said do not get that involved. I also did not want to loose tenants by not communicating with them.  I think I will not make a statement at this time, just continue with our normal operations.

We Purchased this mobile home park June 27th of this year. One week ago a tenant who owns his mobile home, is being charged with Murder of his girlfriend. This did occur in the park. I have no idea if I should make a statement to tenants and if so what should I say? Please help!!

To Further complicate things the suspect is the brother of the old on site property manager, who still lives in the park and the victim has several family members in the park. 

Hi guys, I just started managing a mobile home park with 22 lots and house. I have had the park for about 60 days. The owner of the park wants to do a clean up day. I have ordered the dumpsters and made announcements to the tenants. I have agreed to go out with him to clean up the park as well as a mobile home that was left full of personal belongings. I assume this does not fall under "Normal Duties" of a property manager. My question is do I charge the owner for this or not? If so, how much?
