RHP Properties NorthStar Estates Manufactured Homes Cesspool home Little Canada Michigan

I live in NorthStar Estates Manufactured Home Park, owned by RHP,  In Nov 2014, I woke up and was walking out the door when I noticed water all over the floor on the end of home... After investigating, it was raw sewage and had taken out one bathroom and bedroom.  I cleaned up as much as I could and went to work to get a commercail vac.. returned and informed mgmt that there was a problem.  I had that end of house shut off as I did not use, had not used for some time.  No water had been run in my home outside of brushing my teeth in the AM.. They informed me they would send maint. over,  of which I was home for two days and all weekend and no one came over, in the wildst sewage kept coming into the home, I could not use the toilet facilties or the bath/shower, I was bucketing sewage and shop vaccing trying to keep up, Informed mgmt again, said maint was there, told him I had been home and no one came there.

Said he would send him over again??Long story short, after calling tenant's rights, state attorney's office, justice legal, going down to stop rent payments, calling a zillion plumbers (not my property, owner has to call) I finally got hold of upper mgmt after many tries and they finally finnaly repaired in April 2015.  The roots of a tree got into the sewage line in my backyard.  I had crawled under the home the first week this happened and the water was there with no place to go, I knew it was in the ground, they kept telling me to put drain cleaner down there, cause I probably had grease in the line,  they told me it was the pitch on my sewage line coming from the end of house I did not use,  I crawled on top of pipe and brought it to the ground where they line went into ground and repaired it within the same week.

The maint guy to hadf a company come flush just before xmas and let me tell you as rude as anyone could be, they flushed it for 10 min,  -20 degrees that day and left, did not say it was fixed or anything, hours later sewage came back up into home,  I baled more than 200 buckets of sewage from my home, I was sic from work for days on end thru the winter, I smelled like a cesspool, had to take baths in the sink with boiled water, I slipped and fell on ice and water in bathroom, I froze trying to keep the heat down so as not to have sewage going thru the air vents, I had to use electric heaters to keep warm room by room. I had to go to my workplace to use the toilet facilities, I came home twice during the day, everyday to check on the volume of sewage coming into home and bale if needed. I complained and complained, 5 times total... frustrated, sic, cold  (very cold winter last year) tried to work to pay my bills, took my vacation time for paychecks, used all my sic time..

I had a skating rink outside of my home of sewage going out and down my skiirting,  I threw the buckets of sewage out the front door in front of all in  the snow. (grass still does not grow so good there)  Long story short going over this mgmt head he finally got that maint guy to come and flush until he found the problem, He still tried to tell me it was grease down my lines, all the while upper mgmt left me a voice message telling me that it was a broken  line and to use my water sparingly till they get it fixed, that was in MARCH 2015, they did not repair until mid April because I called him every other day saying when are you going to fix your problem...All this time I had to pay full rent  541.00 per month,  now water and no sewage from Nov 18-April 2015.  I have great losses in home, this is something that should of been fixed in 24-48 hours.  My house was just completed being redone 2 days ago, All my belongings, all, were in a POD in my driveway, unaccessable for 8 months.

 I lived w/ tv on wall, mattress on floor, and patio deck table for dining..My food, my toiletries my clothing my laundry equipment everything locked up.. unreachable. I had cold and wet in spring and I had heat and humidty in summer, no central air as vents were pulled... I suffered greatly. I should never of been living in here but the car was not an option, I have no CC to go stay in hotel. and I have pets.  I spent a week in hospital, I can no longer breathe and I went afib three times out of stress.  I am 60 yrs old and live alone and so did not deserve this,  One year of my life has been taken..living in hell and this place did not give a d**n. All they wanted was their money.  The offered me a 350.00 discount on rent for may june & july while I slept on my floor and went thru 6 mnths of hell...

I told them that was not good enough, My solid oakd king bed went to dump, my antique dresser went to dump, my food is garbage, if had been boiled and frozen. My utilites were way off and I had to pay..On their discount they even sent me eviction notices and threatened me trying to make me pay the discount they gave me.  They threatened to charge me for repairs.. All the while my insurance company and adjusters witness the sewage backup out of the ground and sent me a letter in November denying the claim because it was in the ground. Everyone but this park acknowledged it to be a problem in ground, which is their property and not mine.. No human being should ever have to go thru this and have to pay to go thru it... any attorneys out there....
