Q. The Company that owns the land my mobile home is on, is trying to evict me accordingly that I am an unapproved tenant
A: You have multiple issues going on and you should consult with a landlord/tenant lawyer if you are being sued for eviction or have received a notice to vacate. The statute you are citing actually supports the park evicting you if you failed to obtain approval as a tenant.

The duty to obtain approval likely occurred when your mom passed (I'm sorry for your loss) and your neighbors' opinions will not override the decision of the park owner. You need the lawyer to review the park prospectus, the lease agreement (if you have one), the park restrictions and any rules adopted by the park.

I'm not sure what your sister's power of attorney has to do with the park evicting you. If she is trying to get possession of the home, that is a completely different issue that would require a probate attorney. You might be able to find one that handles both landlord/tenant and probate. One that has experience in mobile home park lot tenancies would be an added bonus. ... Read More
Q. Hurricane caused fallen tree on ground of mobile home park, Winter Haven, FL. Property owners claim no liability
A: I'm sorry to hear about your troubles. It isn't a matter of who owns the property. It depends on what your lease and park prospectus state regarding lot maintenance. It could be you are responsible since you are in possession of the land or the park could be responsible and not taking responsibility. You would need a lawyer to review the documents to see if they address this issue. The Florida Bar Young Lawyer's Division has a hotline set up for Hurricane Milton. The telephone number is 1-833-513-2940.
Q. If I have 2 cases in front of 2 different judges how can I get both judges to see my case? The cases are related.
A: If you are going to litigate yourself, which is ill-advised, you need to familiarize yourself with the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure. Other than telling you judges can only hear cases based on a motion and a properly coordinated hearing with notice, we cannot give you specifics on how to litigate in this general Q&A forum. If your real property is at risk of loss, you definitely need a skilled real estate attorney.
