Mobile home residents lose in courtroom
Ventura County Superior Court recently dismissed a lawsuit brought against the city of Thousand Oaks by residents of Conejo Mobile Home Park, which will be closing.
Twenty-two coach owners, who must move their dwellings off rented spaces on property at 1200 Newbury Road, were seeking more relocation money. The residents claimed they would lose money they’d invested in their mobile homes due to Thousand Oaks’ violation of a city law requiring higher relocation fees.
The city had earlier agreed that the property owner had to pay less than the law required due to court case rulings overturning similar laws in other cities.
Although the lawsuit was filed within a required 90-day time frame, it was dismissed because it wasn’t served to the city before that same deadline.
