What is the law regarding sale of personal property (trailers) in mobile home parks?
Manufactured Homes May 13th, 2010We want to sale our trailer in a mobile home park where the water has tested high in uranium. Our property has lost value because of the situation and we are wondering what to do. It would seem unethical to not inform prospective buyers of the water issue, but are we required to do so, and can the landowner be held liable for damages?

Yes the landlaord can be held responsible for water contamination if the health dept declares it unsafe to drink. As far as your trailer, if you sell it then it can be moved. You are not obligated to make any disclaimers about the water, just like your not obligated to tell new owners that the people who run the park are jerks.

Trailers are chattel property,not real estate,so disclosure laws don’t apply…
