Evicted

[Alainaluvsu]

Waaaait. I'm not sure how large 1300 ft² is, but that sure doesn't sound like my idea of a trailer. The price of 6000 $ either. oo' So, yeah. WHAT is a trailer to you?

PS: "grand" for "thousand dollars"... is that typically American? Granted, I don't live in English, but I've only seen that twice, and both times were on these forums.

The 6,000 price is for my brother. I'd like to sell it for 8 or better for anybody else. It's 16x80 ft ... or 1280 square feet, 3 br 2 bath. It's a mobile home. It's 20 years old but in great shape. New trailers go for about 40,000 and up but they depreciate quickly.

Good size.  I had one that size, but it was one 1 bath, but it was big.  So was the kitchen.

OK i did some research on Louisiana law since u are month to month you can be evicted for any reason or no reason at all however he must supply a 10 day notice usually given within the 10 days prior to the rent due date. if he has not done that then the courts will make him start the whole process over. second he can not evict without a court order in hand so it is advised to go to the court hearing. last he can not do anything to facilitate the eviction such as changing locks shutting off power prior to having said court order in hand. this is the law in Louisiana trans status has no bearing on month to month leases all he has to do is claim no knowledge or any other thing he wants ad as long as he follows the above law Ur history Hun.
sorry
hugs been their currently stay in extended stay hotel for the cost of 300 a week i know how scary this can be.

For it being 20 years old... it's in WONDERFUL condition too. Honestly I don't think 6-8 is asking much for it, and hopefully it'll sell in the next 15-20 days.

Thank you... I hope you can get out of that situation

Aaaaaah! It's a mobile house. xD That's what a trailer is for me.

But, isn't that really cheap? I thought such things were more expensive than cars, as in, over 20 000 $. And that like houses, their values didn't diminish as years passed.

Though, uhm, if you actually own a home to live in... why not live in it instead of bothering with an apartment? o:

Mobile homes depreciate like nobodies business. It becomes a hassle trying to find a buyer about 25 years after its manufacture date. It may be a bit cheap but I want to sell it quickly. I don't want to live in it anymore because I'm determined to move to NOLA and moving a mobile home 300 miles over the awful roads in Louisiana is a BAD idea... not to mention VERY expensive!!!

Actually, this particular mobile home was $36,000 20 years ago. It was nice then and it's almost just as nice now!

[Michelle G]

I would say "head west" but NOLA sounds like it will treat you better for now

And....I have always wanted to visit there! Would be nice to know at least one nice person in the area

Good luck sweetheart! Wish I was close enough to help anyway I can.

[Penny Gurl]

8 grand for a mobile home really isn't a bad price at all, you'd be hard pressed to find a travel trailer for that.  And yeah, moving a mobile home = not fun even if it is on wheels!  Post it on Craig's list and see if anyone bites off that.  Good luck moving it!

What is NOLA? oo'

[Alainaluvsu]

What is NOLA? oo'

New Orleans, Louisiana

[A]

Aaaah. I'm not sure why one would use use an abbreviation, but then again, I could never understand why Americans so often refer to the 50+(!) states with confusing two-letter codes either.

And uhm... Are there two New Orleans? I never knew. Or is the state added "just like that"?

By the way, New Orleans... Doesn't moving there represent a guarantee of being flooded every two or three years, since it's on the route of hurricanes and built below the sea?

[Penny Gurl]

Aaaah. I'm not sure why one would use use an abbreviation, but then again, I could never understand why Americans so often refer to the 50+(!) states with confusing two-letter codes either.

The letter codes are the postal codes for the states and since no two states have the same post code why not type two letters instead of the whole darn name?   And there are only 50 states, granted there are territiores like the U.S.Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico though

[A]

(I really wonder why, but I had this idea that there were exactly 54 states. Aw well, if you catch me tired, I can probably have trouble naming the thirteen provinces and territories of Canada, so.)

Well, to be honest, for outsiders who have a very limited knowledge of US states like me, it's really confusing. For example, if I tell you I'm from TV (Tuvalu), CN (China), ES (Spain) or PL (Poland), you probably wouldn't understand very well, would you? Another example can be set with department numbers in France. There are even more than US states (about a hundred I think), and people mostly know them. Yet they won't use those much unless they're only with other French people from France. Besides, I tend to see those things as unpleasing, a bit like SMS-type abbreviations ("pls", "bb", "u", etc.).

But! This is heavy sidetracking. Let's not continue on this topic too much. Poor Alaina.

[LilyoftheValley]

theres only one New Orleans, im unsure why you would think there may be two

[tekla]

Yup, some places there are only one of (for better or worse, while we could use a few more New Orleans I don't think anyone would want to see another Washington DC), and a lot of those locations (some are cities, some states, some more regional, or weird-like the A1A) have a very strong sense of place that makes them both highly attractive and very parochial.

[A]

LilyoftheValley: Well, because she said "NOLA" - New Orleans, Louisiana. To me it sort of sounded like it was necessary to mention the state, because there was another New Orleans. A bit like... Yeah, a bit like we always say London, Ontario or London, Canada when referring to the Canadian city, because there's a much more obvious one in the United Kingdom (and at least one other in Australia, I think).

Anyway, I've seriously derailed this topic. Ignore me or something. D:

There's no other New Orleans... that's for sure! LOL!! Moving there doesn't guarantee being flooded every couple years... they just had a hurricane and the city (itsself) didn't get flooded. The city went so many years without disaster until Katrina. Katrina was a freak hurricane that moved in at just the right angle and just the right intensity... and hit before billions of dollars were spent to reinforce the levees. On top of that... the city has pumps that are designed to pump out 2" of water per hour.

Even if it was very risky, I'd still go. I love that town

I said NOLA because it's quicker to type it out than it is to type out New Orleans, btw

[DanicaCarin]

      Sorry Alaina.... That has to be one of the most blatant anti Trans harassment situation I have ever heard! Hope you and your roommate can get things worked out before it becomes a complete disaster for you both!

Small towns can be real difficult to live in, but I understand your needs for finish school and then move.  The bigots in these towns usually stand out for what they are, but they are tollerated even though most people don't like them or their annoying attitude.  In contrast anyone from the LGBT community is marginalized or iosolated, and then made to feel unwelcome.  But I'm sure you and your roomate will find a good place and make it through the next few months.  There must be some free-thinking, progressive landords in town.

The small town where I vacation in Michigan has 500 people and could be esilly used in Andy of Mayberry (except there are no police in town and the sheriff only drives through on the highway).  I'm considered an outside, so if I didn't own my home and rented instead, nobody would talk to me because I look too much like an old California Hippie.  Just waiting to see what happens when I eventually come out.

Just an update.

I have come to an agreement on a mobile home and I'll be getting money from the sale tomorrow!! I'm so excited to make my home down in New Orleans!! Plus I'll have some money left over for some more laser and an orchi. Thanks bigots for giving a transsexual a reason to progress with her transition
