I am about to go into quite a bit of detail on a matter that happened to a friend of mine. In short: if you want a peaceful place to live, do not choose Greenleigh Mobile Home Community. The manager of this mobile home park can put you through the wringer and will not hesitate to bleed you dry.
The story I'm about to recount is one or two years in the making. It involves the relentless harassment of an elderly person, a power-tripping, greedy park manager, and even the state attorney general (and some of the best attorneys in the Greater Richmond Area). I am a third-party in this matter- not involved in any litigations that occurred between the individuals involved. I'm only telling this story to hopefully save you a lot of grief if you are considering moving here. Despite my anger at the manager of this community, I am not here to spread ugly rumors- so I am only going to mention information that is factual to my knowledge.
In 2022, my elderly friend (who will remain anonymous) purchased a mobile home in Greenleigh Mobile Home Community. They were warned by other tenants to avoid interacting with the park manager whenever possible, but my friend did not heed their warnings. This turned out to be a major mistake, because the park manager began making a lot of unreasonable requests- for example, demanding that the exterior of their trailer be repainted within a week, or making other exterior modifications. My friend is not only elderly and was physically incapable of completing the tasks in time, but they are on Social Security and don't make much money (then again, most people that live in trailer parks aren't exactly loaded with cash).
As if the situation wasn't getting ridiculous enough, the park manager proceeded to surprise my friend with litigations because (as expected) they couldn't get the work done on time- demanding that they pay their attorney's fees. My friend responded by contacting the attorney general. At first, the office did not take the matter seriously- but after enough attempts, the office realized that the matter was actually getting extremely out of hand (and in fact, may be a matter that should be investigated state-wide). The attorney general appointed some of the best lawyers in the area to help my friend fight against the park manager.
During the litigations, the park manager attempted to evict my friend, while also doing everything in his power to block my friend from selling their trailer. Side-note: if you are evicted, and your mobile home is still on land that is not owned by you, and you do not sell it to a park manager-approved buyer, the park manager can seize your property. However, the judge did not allow the park manager to do this. According to my friend, this park manager is prone to doing this and then renting out the trailers he seizes. However, I must emphasize that this is hearsay throughout the community, and not proven fact. It is also worth mentioning that my friend is not the only person who was in litigations at the time against this park manager.
My friend finally was able to sell their trailer (though, they still had to pay the park manager's attorney's fees, as well as hotel fees due to being evicted unfairly). My friend was forced to move in with their adult child, but had to give away their beloved pets.
I know I said this at the start, but I must say it again: Do not move into Greenleigh Mobile Home Community. The manager of this park is a nightmare to deal with, and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. read more
