Legal Question in Consumer Law in New York

What do to when you are being taken for everything by a Manufactured Housing sel

Last June I finalized the purchase on a new manufactured home in a relatively new manuf.home community. Several promises, none of which are in writing, were made about the lot my home was placed on, the condition inside the home, and so on. 11 Months later, I am paying for a lot that is not even safe for children or adults in an unfinished careless community. My home still hasn't been finished inside, and the last time the workers were in they ruined a few hundred dollars worth of my stuff. I don't believe I should have to pay for all of this, yet I have been paying nearly $300 per month for this unlivable lot alone! I want to get an attorney and get some changes made, but I'm not even sure if I have a legal leg to stand on, and would appreciate advise, guidance and assistance.

Re: What do to when you are being taken for everything by a Manufactured Housing

A great deal will depend upon what is written

in your contract of purchase/construction

The same may be true as to the lot lease

Each would have to be reviewed to determine whether

there are "gaps" which would permit oral testimony

to supplement these contracts and therefore give

you a basis for litigation

You will need to have an attorney first review those

documents before a proper answer may be given
