MOBILE HOME TITLES KANSAS requirements thereof

[old_rabbi]

hello back in march 2010 i bought a mobile home in kansas, and the owner of the MH Park still has not produced title to the same. I found what appears to be a VIN inside the furnance room but i have to spend $10 at the tax appraiser's to get any intel on this trailer.
in the mortgage contract the seller lists a Grodent trailer, but i am living in a skyline trailer.
i have contacted the following all with NO results

1) county attorney (no consumer attorney, so they dont do civil for consumers)

2) attorney general of state of kansas, civil not relief

3) local police to file report of fraud maybe forgery they say civil get attorney

4) dept of revenue, this park has no license to sell either used or new mobile homes opppppppppppps

and since the previous owner as well as the new owners are both from out of state, no one wants to help me that is in position to help me.

I live on $674 per month soon to be evicted due to my complaints, the manager terminated lease without written reasons for doing so.

NEED HELP SOOOOOOOOOOON

In most states private sellers can legally sell a small number of manufactured homes a year. Just like a private party selling a car or a home. But that is not really the issue. The probelm is your dissatisfaction with the contract information.

Spend the ten bucks and get the data you need to claim ownership of your home. If in fact the contract description of the home is incorrect that $10 will be an excellent investment towards proof positive if you were treated unfair or dishonestly.

Read your sales contract and land lease agreement closely. Unless you are denied by contract, the right to register that home in your name prior to full pay off, do whatever is necessary to re-title make yourself the owner of record ASAP when you have the correct information.

What ever the documentation shows it sounds like you need to be prepared to enter a dispute with the landlord. The Kansas Mobile Home Parks Residential Landlord & Tenant Act Clearly states:

"In any rental agreement entered into between a landlord and tenant in a mobile home park where five or more mobile homes are harbored, such rental agreement shall contain a notice that specifies that the tenant has certain rights under the mobile home parks residential landlord and tenant act and copies of the act may be obtained from the landlord upon the request of the tenant....

.....If the landlord unlawfully removes or excludes the tenant from the mobile home park or willfully diminishes services to the tenant by interrupting or causing the interruption of electric, gas, water or other essential service to the tenant, the tenant may recover possession or terminate the rental agreement and, in either case, recover an amount not to exceed 1 1/2 months' periodic rent or the actual damages sustained by the tenant, whichever is greater. If the rental agreement is terminated, the landlord shall return that portion of the security deposit recoverable by the tenant under K.S.A. 58-25,108.


There are guidelines a landlord has to follow in order to evict a tenant. DOWNLOAD A COPY OF YOUR STATE LAW HERE. to discover what portions pertain to your dispute and which state departments are responsible for enforcement.

KRLTA is the law that governs the relationship between landlords and tenants in Kansas

The latest edition of the Kansas Tenants Handbookcovers both legal and practical aspects of Kansas residential landlord tenant relations in terms that everyone can understand.
