Legal Question in Legal Ethics in Michigan

Eviction from a mobile home park.

I have gotten evicted from my previous mobile home park and I did not recive a notice untill the day I got a leter from the county sherifs department. I was told I had 48 hours to get my belongings from my trailer and get out. I was just woundering if I was spose to get a notice before that or not. Also if I was spose to get served in person not just by mail.

Re: Eviction from a mobile home park.

Yes, you were required to be personally served with the Summons and Complaint for eviction OR via CERTIFIED MAIL/RRR, unless the plaintiff/park obtained an order for substituted service, whereby they were permitted to serve you by posting it on your house, mailing it via regular mail, etc - whatever the judge allowed. You should retain a lawyer to protect your rights, especially if you were not given proper notice, in which case the Court will either dismiss the eviction (but the park can still refile), or will give you more time (at least 30 days) to vacate the premises.
