I have a mobile home in kerry but over the last few years the landlord has put the rent up extraordinarily high. I know that a landowner of mobile home parks can charge exactly what they like (he says this year he has to pay VAT yet he wants only cash & refuses to give receipts) and of course everyone also has to pay key money. By the way there are NO facilities.
This year there's a new rule! People can only sell their mobile homes THROUGH him and he insists he takes 10,000 commission or whatever you want to call it. In other words the people who sold this summer - one sold at 12,000 only got 2,000 for their mobile home - he retained the balance. IF people sell without involving him he says he will have the new owners off the site immediately.
IS THIS LEGAL????
I know mobile home owners have no rights but surely this is wrong.
