Filing a mobile home park complaint

Filing a complaint about a mobile home park with a state agency or attorney general is more effective with a clear record and the right office. This is a general reference for what people commonly assemble, not instructions for any specific complaint or advice on the merits. Consider a licensed attorney or a legal-aid program, and check your state's resources page for the correct agency.

What to assemble before filing a complaint

• A dated summary of what happened — a clear, factual timeline of events.
• The specific issue — the rule, lease term, or law you believe was violated, stated plainly.
• Copies of key documents — the lease, rules, notices, bills, and any written communications (keep the originals).
• A record of contact with the park — when and how you raised the issue and how the park responded.
• Names, dates, and amounts — the people involved, the relevant dates, and any dollar figures.
• The right office — the state agency, board, attorney general division, or utility commission that handles the issue.
• The complaint form and its requirements — the agency's form, format, and any deadline.
• The outcome you are seeking — what you are asking the agency to do.

Why each item matters

A dated, factual summary and the specific issue let the agency understand the matter quickly. Document copies and a record of contact are the evidence the office relies on, and keeping the originals protects you. Names, dates, and amounts make the complaint concrete. Choosing the right office matters because manufactured-housing issues are split among different agencies — and some, like lending, are federal. Stating the outcome you want focuses the request.
