Mobile Home Park Evictions Help

Note: KSFG DBA Unlawful Detainer Lawsuits have declined significantly since 2017. This could be attributed to changes that have taken place within the KSFG companies. Abraham Arrigotti, past President, departed Sierra Corporate Management in Jul 2016 after 17 years with KSFG companies. It was also reported to the MHPHOA that the KSFG/Hart King (Eviction Attorneys) business relationship was severed in late 2017.

Do you live in a mobile home park owned by Kort & Scott Financial Group (KSFG) and managed by Sierra Corporate Management (SCM)? Are you confused about meeting park management demands? Have you been given official looking notices and papers that aren't clear to you? You DO NOT have to blindly do everything that some park managers and park owners tell you to do. We provide free counseling and advice, we can connect you as needed, with the people that can help you legally and financially.

  1. Are you facing extreme financial hardship due to increases in space rent and utilities?
  2. Have you had to cut medical, health and child care expenses to be able to pay space rent?
  3. Has your space rent increased to a point where you are now living month to month? Eating Ramen?
  4. Are you going into debt because you can no longer afford the increases in space rent?
  5. Are you in a situation where you might be facing eviction from, and the loss of, your mobile home?

If this is you, we want to hear from you now. DO NOT WAIT until it is too late. There may be free or low cost help available for you. If you think you will be in a situation where you won't be able to pay the full amount due on your Sierra Corporate Management Statement, you need to start preparing now and not at the last minute. This is a serious situation to be in and if you don't handle it properly, you may find yourself without a mobile home and a monetary judgment against you for up to $9,999.

Keep in mind that the sooner you start planning and getting assistance, the easier it may be to help, or even prevent financial loss. Normally you'll have about 80-90 days from the time you are late with rent before you are served with a Writ of Possession and evicted from your mobile home. Please, DO NOT let it go this far.

Sierra Corporate Management Statement

If you were served with a 3/60 notice, and you were not able to pay rent by midnight on the final day of the 3-day notice, you are now in the 60-day termination window which started on the day you received the 3/60. This is the timeframe when you need to get help. On day 61, you will most likely have an Unlawful Detainer Lawsuit (UDL) filed against you by the KSFG DBA that owns your park. You have five (5) calendar days to respond to the UDL and you must do it correctly, this is the time when you need a lawyer the most. If you don't respond correctly during that five (5) day window, a default judgment takes place and you now have a limited amount of time left before you are illegally occupying the mobile home space. You also won't be able to sell your mobile home at this time.

Contact us now with your details so that we can provide information, counseling, and if needed, refer you to a free or low cost attorney for further assistance.

If you were served with a 3/60 by Sierra Corporate Management on Wednesday, December 4, 2024, and you cannot pay your space rent, here is a detailed timeline of when you can expect to be physically removed from your mobile home by the local Sheriff. This example uses a fast track timeline and does not take into consideration any extensions that may occur in the eviction procedures and is based on the number of business days and calendar days quoted at each stage of the eviction process.

Note: As of Wednesday, December 4, 2024, we do not account for holidays, be sure to take those into consideration when reviewing the Eviction Process and Timeline.

What is a Calendar Day? A calendar day is any day of the week, including weekends. It relates to any day of the week, month or year.

What is a Business Day? A business day is considered every official working day of the week. These are the days between, and including, Monday to Friday and do not include public holidays and weekends.


Keep in mind that while the 3/60 is taking place, you are legally liable for all past, present and future balances that may be due.

If the court decides in favor of SCM there is a strong possibility that in addition to any balances owed to the park, there will be litigation fees that have been accrued by SCM and may be awarded to them as part of their damages. These fees will be subtracted from whatever equity may be left in the abandoned mobile home upon resale to a new tenant. You may or may not receive the remaining proceeds from the resale of the mobile home.

These mobile home owners lost their homes (evicted) in an Unlawful Detainer Lawsuit filed by a KSFG named business entity. Mobile home parks are managed by Sierra Corporate Management.
