Re: Re: Mobile Home park closings
There are laws in place designed to protect your friend and possibly provide some assistance. Specifically Florida Statute 723.
The link below is to a brochure published by Pinellas County, but the state agencies it cites and the Florida Statutes will be applicable to your friend as well.

There are also a couple of different organizations in Broward county that may be able to assist her. Unfortunately I can not remember the names of them right now. You may also go to myflorida.com for additional guidance.
If your friend needs legal assistance there are attorneys in Broward county who specialize in assisting people with mobile home park redevelopment.
