About 100 people live in the Fair Valley Mobile Home Court in York Township, York County. In July, tenants received a letter stating the trailer park was closing and they needed to move out to make way for new townhouses. Most of the tenants receive disability benefits, Social Security, or welfare and do not have the money to move or pay for another place.
"Shock and amazement that somebody could do this to another human being," said Jacquelyn Charlton, tenant.
Neighbors say the management group called Multi-Properties Incorporated has offered to buy their homes for a mere $500.00. The tenants say that's far below market value.
"Give us a break and give us what are place is worth," said Charles Graham, tenant.
"They have the law on their side, so we have to move out, we don't have a choice, but the rotten payment they want to give us of $500.00, that sucks," argued Eugene Livingston, tenant.
The management company has offered tenants $2,000.00 to move their homes, but most are too old to move. Debra Rothrock says it's not fair to be kicked out of her own home.
"I'm on disability, I don't have enough funding, I can't get loans to pay for the moving of my home, my home is to old for me to move, so I'm screwed, now I lost my home I don't have one now," said Rothrock.
FOX43'S calls to Multi-Properties Incorporated were not returned.
Tenants have until January 15, 2010 to move out of the mobile home park.
