That would only be fair and sure she will not have a problem with that as well. Heck for in the long run she is doing you a huge favor as well. Can't beat that. And it is always best to keep the peace in the family if possible.

Technically it isn't his house is it...I am assuming it's hers? She would be reporting herself.



Sorry, jumped the gun. Didn't read far enough about it being Moms place. Hopefully you two can come up with an amicable arrangement

Absolutely.

No. the house is mine ( at least, it will be as soon as Mom signs over the title ) but the land it sits on isn't.

So do you want cheese and crackers with that whine?

Oh hush.

Not like I am going to even consider what an Aussie says anyway.

I'm surprised you could understand my accent...

LMAO!!!!

I have had lots of practice listening to my friend Craig...lmao

its okay to vent. i say: "once in some heat, find someone or something to beat." LoL! ^_^ idk just randomnisity. haha.
btw, im sorry about your loss. hope your okay and well. ^_^

Thanks, dude.

It's been a couple of years.

I'm good.

she needs to work with you since she said you need to pay rent if she owns the land isnt she responsible for whats on the land?

Technically, yes.

Except in the case of the house I am in.

but didnt she allow the house to be put on her property so she is just as responsible as you. Sorry about finishing are converstation my laptop is slowly dying getting a new one soon.

She didn't allow it.

The house has been where it is for about 30 years.

And no worries.

thanks trouble maker

Anytime.

But I didn't start the trouble. It's yer own fault for copying my genius.

Generally speaking Counties have followed the Title XX part of the Houseing and Urban Development guidelines in forming your states Mobilehome Residency Law which superceed any lease. You can probably find it online but more and more states require that property owners provide it to tenants. It clearly defines who is responsible for what.

Rule of thumb is if it is attached to the house it is the responsiblity of the home owner. Things like Skirting, Awnings, leveling peirs, portable planters, trash bins, yard furniture, even unattached yard pavers.

If it is attached to the land it is the responsibility of the land owner. Driveways, free standing car ports, fuel tanks, septic systems, water pumps, storage sheds, porches, electric meters, street lamps anything planted into the ground such as trees and shrubs belong to the property owner regardless of who pays for it. The property owner has to maintain it to make reasonable habitation or provide you alternative houseing. The exclusion being an Act of God such as natural disaster.

If you attach the mobile home to a foundation it does better your chances of HUD subsidized houseing rehab monies but does not guarantee it.

Depending on the age of the home, regardless of the condition, your Mother may or may not be able to transfer title without bringing it up to code. A home inspection is required and they run around $400. Quick deeding a title runs about $150. If the home has value about the minimum allowance it can cost you inheritance taxes. Also if your Mother gives you the property less than three years, soon to become five years, before she has need for Medical Longterm Care Assistance to be admitted to rehab or skilled care she will be disqualified. With Skilled Care Facilities minimum being $6,000 a month it can be a severe financial hardship.

Some states require prepaid property tax, a tag, and proof of insurance. Most of the time homes built before 1976 will not be insureable, pass inspection, and in some states must be crushed not rolled away. I don't have a clue what the dump charges but it could be sizeable. All things you might want to consider before you accept "the Gift".

Some good news is older mobile homes often qualify for Utility company Weatherization and Conservation programs for free. It can mean a new refrigerator, triple pane windows, heat wraps for water heaters, and other repairs. They will also provide you a free tree anually.

Also being a member of AARP gets you guaranteed issue of insurance regardless if your company gets out of the mobile home insurance business (which many are).

Depending on where the home is placed the homes zone rateing may disqualify the resale because it is not insulated enough. At one time homes could be built for one zone and transported to a different zone and be grandfathered in under the original owner but if you take it over it might not be possible.

Hope this info is helpful.
