Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Georgia

Re: Mobile Home Tenant rights during bankruptcy of mobile home park

Usually, unless the B court goes the route of sale and complete liquidation, the current owners would simply become owned by the bank (first mort holder) or some other creditor. Since the creditor does not want to live in the mobile homes, it will simply go about life as ususual and start collecting the lot rent. [This will not work if the Creditor very much wants the land under the trailers for real estate development. If the land has great development value, the trailers will go out with the bath water in the B.] However, I dont know what the facts of your case are. You cannot cap your rent. There is no rent control in Georgia. Expect a significant increase after the B court gets done with you. With regard to the trash, there no quick or good alternatives. The local ordinance or health dept of your county is granted jurisdiction to issue citations and fines. But good luck getting them off their behinds to do anything. You can file a private nusiance suit, but the cost of such a suit is, in legal fees, many many times above the issues you have posed in your question. Hugh C. Wood
