TINY homeowners have revealed they have days to move out after being randomly evicted for no apparent reason.

A couple who have lived in Michigan’s Grand Blanc Township mobile home park for years admitted they received a notice that they had sixty days to leave, and they’re not the only ones.

“There is another family that is here, I think they said 8 years ago that the same thing is happening. 8 years in a place, you have to be a good renter to do that,” Mackenzie Harris told the local ABC affiliate. WJRT.

Harris currently lives in the small house with his partner Davonta Grant.

Both Grant and Harris said they received a letter from the park saying they could not renew their lease, without any explanation as to why.

“All rent has been paid,” Harris said.

“Like there’s no problem as far as that goes. I keep our house really clean. I’m definitely proud of our house, so it’s definitely very messy.”

The couple have lived in their small house for four years and admit that it feels like home to them.

When they asked the leasing manager about the situation, they were unable to clarify the situation but said they could move to a different house on the property.

“We did everything right. We paid our bills on time, but they’re coming to kick us, with no explanation yet,” Grant said.

Attorney Greg Abler of the Civil Justice Center believes what the park is doing could be considered illegal.

“My position would be that the statue we are talking about here would require good cause to terminate the contract,” Abler said.

US Sun has reached out to Yes Communities for comment.

LIVING IN LIMBO

Another family admitted that they were evicted through no fault of their own.

Jennifer and Kristopher Miller have lived in their Vancouver home for two years, but were abruptly told they would have to move.

“We feel like we’re living in limbo and we’ve been living in limbo since mid-December,” Jennifer told TVC in January.

“We don’t know what to do,” Kristopher added.

The couple received a no-fault eviction after the landlord claimed their son needed to move into the property.

However, Kristopher believes this was not the real reason for the eviction.

“We think it’s suspicious that his son is moving out,” Kristopher said.

“All communications regarding this house have been about a rent increase, not that your son has been displaced.”

No-fault evictions allow a landlord to remove a tenant without any cause.

Lawyer Robert Patterson explained that this is a common method for homeowners in the Vancouver area.

“What it caused was a pivot,” Patterson said.

“There is an epidemic of this particular type of eviction right now in the province.”

Many questioned the process as it puts tenant safety at risk, according to the Alan Boswell Group.

“The process needs to be fairer, it needs to be more transparent,” he said.

“We need to give renters the opportunity to protect and defend their homes in the midst of a housing and eviction crisis.”
