,and say they will do it and charge me if I don't. Do I have a defense for keeping my well? They have filed in court now to do this and fine me. Seems to me this should remain grandfathered until such a time as building is destroyed etc.
Now they are forcing me to cap the well and hook up to city water. This I did in the first year or two - I don't recall exactly.

In fact, they were apparently only charging minimum sewer fees before I bought the place, then wanted me to install a water meter on my water line to determine sewer fees. They have allowed this for all the time I've been here, in spite of an ordinance passed which disallowed wells and required city water in all buildings with human occupancy.
It was built in the 50s and had a well instead of city water. I have had my property for about 25 years in small town Iowa. Is this legal?Īll the people in the park are scared they will be homeless and with the price of rent in this area, we including myself and family, will be homeless. With the list he gave each tenant and the 60 days we have before he says we get evicted, he offered every person 2,000 for their homes if the rent was in good standing but that's only after we sign our homes over to him. He gives us 30 days to sign the lease and give him an answer on whether or not we are staying. Most of the people are on fixed incomes or low income families and barely make ends meet.there are elderly and disabled children in this park and he also is raising the rent. About 80 percent of the trailers are 40-plus years old and can't be moved.Įither the work is done in 60 days or we have to sign our homes over to him and move out.

The new owner says that we have to upgrade our homes by either buying a new one or install peaked roofs and siding and moving our homes over from their present location to a location as little as 1 foot over. Many people in this park have been here for many years and own their homes. I live in a mobile home park under new ownership.
