JAMESTOWN – Control of Liechty Homes has issued 30-day lease termination notices to fewer than two of the 225 Jamestown families the company serves, according to Lorne Liechty, the company’s chief executive.
Liechty said the 225 families are in Holiday Park Village and Western Park Village, owned by Liechty Homes.
“I need to make sure it’s understood that we’re not just conducting evictions,” said Kathy Grosz, director of asset control at Liechty Homes. “We don’t evict everybody. It’s like a last hotel for us.
He explained that examples of reasons why a rescission order would be issued include failure to pay rent on the land and the land failing to comply with the lease. He also said that some other examples come with any kind of interaction between the company and the tenant that can lead to a detrimental situation for the tenant or employees.
He said the decision to terminate the lease is “a matter of breaches that have been corrected for a long time” by trying to negotiate with landlords.
Whatever termination case we gave, we arrived at it after steps, several interactions, various reasons. . . Liechty said.
Western Park Village resident Aaron Roehrich was given a 30-day lease termination due to “non-renewal. “The document states that the fabricated space was to be disposed of by April 18.
“The site will have to be blank and all private assets will need to be removed, adding terraces, garage units, steps, clutter and debris,” the document says. “Utilities will also need to be notified and canceled by April 18, 2024. “
Roehrich said he bought his home two years ago and said the space was a “reprehensible place” when he bought it.
Roehrich’s father, Michael, said the cell house would move out in 30 days. He said the floor was comfortable and his son had to find a place to set up the cell house.
“There’s a good chance he won’t make the trip,” he said.
He said Aaron turned his first home into a position to live.
“It’s all their blood, sweat and tears that goes into this place,” he said. “It’s anything I’m proud of. “
Aaron said that when he first bought the stall, he used a tarp held together with bricks over his driveway because it was dripping water. The next day, he said the checkpoint asked him to remove the tarp and bricks from his house. He said he left the tarp in position until he tinned the roof, but left the bricks on the roof.
“They complained and I took them out,” he said.
He said he had a vehicle parked in a parking lot next to his trailer that wasn’t his. He said he told her he couldn’t park there and moved the vehicle.
“It’s the first time,” he said. That’s reasonable. I’m not perfect. . . I worked with them.
Aaron said the next factor with a vehicle he had purchased that he had owned for about two weeks was in his driveway. He said the control told him the vehicle needed license plates.
“(The lease) doesn’t mention that the vehicle has to be registered and have license plates to stay in my driveway,” he said. He said the vehicle was towed out of the driveway two weeks later.
Aaron said the next factor is a favorable Second Amendment steel plate he won for his mother as a housewarming gift. He said the sign had been pinned next to his entrance all that time until about a month ago.
“I get a message that says, ‘You want to take down your sign,'” she said.
He said he thought of the right of signal because of his right to speak freely. He said the checkpoint told him the marker could simply advertise threatening or illegal activity.
Western Park Village resident Cindy Thompson said she won a 30-day lease termination fine in September 2022 for violating Rules No. 11 of the lease related to the maintenance of the property, which is the responsibility of the resident.
“The entire area will be kept empty and free of any garage of cans, bottles, boxes, and appliances at the front, side, and rear of homes,” the notice reads. “No vehicles or items are allowed on the lawn, neither in summer nor winter. “”.
The statement also states that the space will have to be eliminated two months after the date, i. e. by November 2020.
Thompson said the incident concerned a motorcycle he inherited after his brother’s death that was in his backyard. He also said that control of Liechty Homes had gone after his fence and pool that he had permission to install.
He said he got rid of the motorcycle from his lawn and erected the fence.
Thompson said he won a reprimand for a lease violation twice in February and in March. The mother said they will fix the fence, the pool and clean up the grounds.
He also won a 30-day dismissal order on March 13 for violating regulations related to maintaining resident duty.
Since then, Thompson said a forced eviction lawsuit has been filed through Liechty Homes against her, Aaron Roehrich and their neighbor.
Grosz said the issuance of maintenance-related lease termination notices is a scenario that control has been facing for a long time.
“It’s not like they just give us a notice and evict someone,” he said. Womb. We’ve tried to work out the issues with the tenants so we don’t have to get to that point. “
Grosz said in an email that landlords of lease termination or eviction can sell, move or vacate the home for demolition at no cost.
“If an evicted tenant owes rent, the space is reclaimed through the landlord, but North Dakota state law requires that the next sale be just a collection of the debt and no profit can be made,” he said in an email. of the sale must be returned to the owner/tenant. In some cases, when there is no challenge with the collection of rent, we (or the landlord) may also offer to purchase the space from the tenant, but this is done on a case-by-case basis and largely depends on the conditions of the space in question.
