They bought a trailer for retirement in Roy. Now couple fights landlord for their home

Sep. 20—In a small, rural town south of Tacoma, Patrick and Trudi Froslie settled three years ago into a mobile home park reminiscent of a campground, peppered with tall trees and home to a mossy pond where ducks and geese swim.

The new homestead in Roy seemed to be a perfect fit for the self-described "nature folks," who put up a cobalt-blue birdbath in their side yard and adorned the front of their rustic-gray trailer with tiny hanging birdhouses.

But several months after Little Lake Mobile Home Park, where they live, was bought by Little Lake LLC in February 2021, the couple received a notice that caught them off guard: Their new landlord intended to put their home up for sale and gave them 90 days to vacate.

Except there was one glaring problem, according to Patrick Froslie. Their home was not the new landlord's to sell, he said, because he and his wife owned their trailer, unlike the vast majority of residents at the park who were renters.

A bully pushing around the most vulnerable. Where are the community service agencies and local church members to help them. Apparently nowhere.

Hopefully they’ll be able to find a new place that will accommodate in the area. I feel for those that don’t own their home. They are going to have to really start looking for a new place to live. Not sure why this is allowed but it seems like it’s pretty common.

The go-to now for white collar crooks is to threaten to make the legal costs so expensive that it is not worth going to court when they steal from you.

They all learned from TFG.
