A MOTHER and her young children were evicted from their home with a day’s notice and claimed they had nowhere to go. 

This comes as a whole tiny community was handed notices to leave in Orange County, Florida. 

The residents of Lake Downey Mobile Home Park were evicted on Tuesday 6 November, just 24 hours after they were handed notices by the Orange County Sheriff’s office.

These evictions came following a pending sale of the land by the owners. 

Residents have claimed that they had been made aware of a possible sale since June 2022, but the eviction notices came as a surprise to them.

Tenant Lynette Colon claimed that she did not have somewhere to move with her four children and husband, according to ABC affiliate WFTV.

She reportedly moved to the community a year ago and paid $1,600 a month in rent for her three-bedroom property, according to Spectrum News 13.

Colon said: “We get this some of us don’t got a place to go, some of us don’t got an income.”

Residents have claimed that the mobile home park had faced issues in the past. 

These problems supposedly included crime, unlivable conditions, and no running water for six months.

Displaced families had received some help from local charitable organizations, for example, the Samaritan Resource Center Outreach group.

The organization’s outreach case manager, Vontravia Ulysse, shared how her group could assist the displaced residents. 

Ulysse said: “We are here to assist the families that are to be leaving the property trying to bridge that gap and either bridge housing them or finding them housing.”

Colon explained how the organization could have assisted her in her search for alternative housing. 

She said: “The good samaritan told me that If I get an answer from the apartment that I could come over to them and they could help me with the deposit.”

Despite this, Colon showed that she was living in a van with her family while they looked for a more permanent solution.

This property has faced a number of challenges including two active cases against the owner Manohar Jain, an unpaid lien, and around $2.8million in fines, according to Orange County.

Jain’s bills go up by $30,000 each day according to Orange County’s District 3 Commissioner Mayra Uribe, as reported by Fox affiliate WOFL.

Uribe said: “I hope they’ll be held accountable.

“Because what they’ve done to this community, even the surrounding neighborhood, is not right.”

The land has been earmarked for a new development but the next steps for the property are unclear.
