is it legal for a landlord not to supply heating in florida when it is a mobile home?

Posted by Modular Homes on January 21st, 2011

i rent a private double wide mobile home on landlords property. we share his well water line and thats all he gives. Does he also have to maintain the electrical wiring and outlets? The fuse box trips if I put too much on, such as vacuuming and the stove or other electrical devices are running. The fuse box looks like a mass of wires hanging out of it. the mobile home is old and has a plywood floor, is that legal?

How much would it cost to convert a bedroom in a mobile home to a bathroom?

Posted by Modular Homes on February 23rd, 2010

My aunt is wanting me to move in w/ her into her 3/1 double wide mobile home. She wants to convert one of the bedrooms to a bathroom. The place is at least 14yrs old. It would be a full bathroom. I’m thinking at least a few thousand. (Not worth it!!)

Does a cable company really have to go underneath a mobile home to install cable?

Posted by Modular Homes on November 8th, 2009

I just bought a 07 double wide mobile home. I am about to get Comcast cable, and am wondering if they have to go underneath the trailer to install the cable? My home is pre-wired for cable. Also, I have a two coax cable wall plates. If I connect my TV to that wall plate, should I be able to get my local channels or do I have to have Comcast come out? Last Question, we have wall paneling, is that sturdy enough to mount a flat screen television?

I am SERIOUSLY considering buying a modular home from Palm Harbor… Any input on Palm Harbor or modulars?

Posted by Modular Homes on June 5th, 2009

I have 4 children that would like to keep their own bedrooms after years of having to share. I own 1.5 acres of land and a double wide mobile home. I want out of my mobile home. I have been seriously looking at log cabins & modular homes. I would put them on a slab on my property. After weeks of internets searches, I found a modular home that I am very interested in–the Cinci Cape by Palm Harbor. Anyone have any input on modulars or Palm Harbor?
How well made are they?
Do they retain their value?
Does thair value increase like a traditional "stick" home?
How do they compair in cost? Are they really substantially cheaper?
What should I look for?
If I decide against the modular home, what input do you have on log cabins?
Are they a realistic option in southern LA?
Are they energy efficient?
Do they settle and become unlevel?
Ideas people?
I cant afford to build traditionally, but I do not want to live in a mobile home any longer.
There is a substantial difference between mobile homes and modular homes–the differance starts with the ground up… mobile homes are on metal frames and are raised–modular homes are built like "stick" homes and can go on foundations/slabs.
Also, I am not renting. I own the land outright and have a mortgage on my mobile home. And, surprisingly, the value of the two has almost doubled since I bought them 7 years ago.
