[redacted] began to email the Park regarding an unlivable Spartan RV we had for sale for $1.00 if the eligible tenant passed our back ground check and paid a security deposit. This is the $1.00 ad for the Spartan:We are offering to the right person a Spartan Trailer for $1.00. What...
is the catch? It needs work! And you must live at our Park. This home is unlivable at this point. It has no kitchen, bathroom needs work, plumbing, electrical, sewer, painting inside and outside. And more. Since this home is not livable so we will offer you 3 month’s free rent while you get it ready. You would pay every other month, plus sewer after 2 months and electrical when that is working.Ms. [redacted] responded to this ad, but I think she was confused. In order to have the $1.00 price for the home, she would be required to pass the back ground check and pay a security deposit. Our other ad for the home read: Spartan Collectors: The inside of this home does not have much salvage, but the outside has some items that you might need for an on-going project. Uncertain of the year of this unit, best guess is between 1950 and 1960 (ish). Tires are worn and possibly flat. No idea about the condition of the hitch, axle, or other questions like that.The pictures speak for themselves, but in the right hands this could be a beautiful home. We are asking $350.00.Ms. [redacted] and her father, [redacted] came to visit and see the home. I took their information for the back ground check, which I explained, was needed if she and her father were going to live at the park. Had they wanted to buy the RV, all I would have needed was a money order or a cashier’s check for $350.00 and they would have been given a bill of sale. I would have needed to know how long they were going to keep it at the Park, as if it went past a month arrangements for a storage agreement would have been required. My understanding was the Mr. [redacted] was going to live in the space next to the Spartan. His daughter would live with him while they made this home livable. She would have bought the home then for the $1.00 and paid rent every other month for 3 months. Her father would have paid regular rent, with an incentive we offered new tenants of $100.00 off the first full month and a security deposit would have been required from both of them. I had all of their information, but needed the money for their background check. I thought they had left to get it. I discovered that Mr. [redacted] had parked his RV on the space next to the Spartan. I told them they could not stay, as they were not approved by the Park. At that time, they said they would find another place to stay and would return. They did not.I emailed the following to Ms. [redacted] regarding our policies to become a resident at our park on July 5, 2016.Hello [redacted]!Here is the process we go through for new tenants.Who we areAt the Columbia MHP-LLC we are looking for people who want to be part of a community.

I would never coerce anyone into buying or applying at our Park. I did not change what the original arrangement was to be with Ms. [redacted]. I found her father and her very nice people who would have made a nice addition to our community. I honestly believe there was a misunderstanding regarding the $1.00 and $350.00 deal we were offering. I was not deliberately trying to make this a difficult process for the [redacted]s.
