New Oregon Mobile Home Park Liability Case 11/18/09

December 1, 2009 by · Leave a Comment 

If you own a mobile home park and one of your tenants coaches is unsafe, you may be liable.

This case involved a guest of a park resident, that fell down the entry stairs of a coach and sued both the coach owner and the mobile home park owner. The park owner filed for summary judgment and won. The Plaintiff appealed and the summary judgement was overturned by the Oregon appellate court.

Because most tenant leases call for the resident to keep his coach in good and safe repair, should park management turn a “blind eye” to an obviously dangerious condition, the park owner may be held liable.

Here is the case Buoy v. Kim
