'Only viable solution': Evergreen trailer park owner breaks silence on evictions

- The property owner of Evergreen’s Spring Creek Mobile Home Park is speaking out following a report of residents facing a mass eviction later this year.
NBC Montana covered the unexpected 180-day eviction notices, which tenants received a few weeks ago. The notices came months after new property owner Brett Kelly told the Flathead Beacon in January that his goal was to keep renting to residents.
Ending the current lease agreements and removing the trailers was the “only viable solution,” Kelly wrote in a Facebook post Tuesday night.
Kelly cited extensive repairs needed to the park's decades-old infrastructure, specifically the water system, as the reason for the evictions, in addition to the land’s location in a floodplain.

Most of those old trailers can't be moved and set back up. They settle over the years and just come apart when moved
That's true they can't
There is a company buying trailer parks across the country and putting new modular homes in them and raised prices , trailer park gentrification
Never get comfortable in a mobile home in a rent park or putting your Mobile Home in a Trailer Park because anything can change in the near future it's good to have your own land never get that twisted
@jameshoward1215 Trailer Park living sucks because of things like this.
Brett Kelly just made all of this up, he is a keyboard warrior who you will never meet in person unless it is in court. He already knew what the property was before he bought it. He is clear that he bought the property to develop it. His supposed goal of offering qualifying residents new homes and eventually the opportunity to buy the property basically means nothing - because he already knows that current residents will not be able to afford new homes. He is just another soulless money gruber who does not care if he ruins other people's lives in his quest for wealth. Like a drug dealer peddling poison that kills some customers and ruins 100% - as long as he gets his riches anything goes.
Brett was my landlord....slumlord. he fixed nothing and raised the rent.
Only his wife would drop by only to collect the rent.
SLUMLORDS !
@@philipharrisson6894 There you have it!
You are exactly right about that
The usual path taken for the removal of this kind of affordable housing. This happens all over the country. New owner has big plans. It belongs to him, so he can do what he wants. That's why I don't like the "land rental" situation in most mobile home parks. These people probably don't have the means to move these homes out even if they did have somewhere to go. Old mobile homes don't move so well. Best of luck to these folks.
Yep💵💵💵😈
He plans on selling the property to build apartments since it is already zoned multi family. It is happening at most parks.
It's sad...he needs to give these people 2 years to get out and 1/2 rent for the final 6 months..
He's already sold the land to a developer who's gonna put up high priced condos.
Yea I get mail every other day of companies that want to buy land that I have. It’s outrageous for these big companies trying to snatch everything up.
Yeah right... .😢
He knows he is going to make it so high nobody living there now is going to be able to afford he is just trying to get out of the limelight. Yall should keep following this story and just see how many now residents get to keep living there...
go to the local govt , make it clear, the govt wont approve any plans to develop the property, put a moratorium on all new development for 5 years.
So much corruption I bet they already know what is going to happen
It’s greed, that’s all it is.
He will sell to a Wall st. capital investment firm.
If you don't own the land then you don't own anything...
Well, some sale out. We did. Time to retire.
This is why you never place something you own on land you don't. A lot of those trailers will fall apart if they tried to move them.
I am one of many of those people who live in this park. Read a comment that states no one takes care of the yard's. What a joke. Some bitter comments about being trashy. I really hope that nothing like this happens to those that commented about the trailer park.
He may be responsible for having to relocate them. Just so you know, there are mobile home and manufactured home laws. that’s their property. He’s requesting them to leave. They may have an argument.
Property is to valuable to set on best to develop it into high dollar housing .
You sound as greedy as the owner. What’s valuable is the livelihood of these people that can’t afford to move.
@@CraigC-h6bthis is a factual statement. I don’t own any property but the post is correct. No one would not sell. The other missing bit of information is how many people were even paying rent at all? Don’t blame individuals for not providing what the taxpayers should be.
The place looks like a dumpster. The tenants don't keep their lawns cut.
Legal liabilities often affect those they are intended to help...
He can do whatever he wants.
I guess you're lucky because you don't live here. So just hope nothing happens to you
Brett Kelly being the owner explains a lot.....
It belongs to property owner and can do what he wants.
Unfortunatly thats the way things work on this wonderful USA! I still say if you're going to own a trailer, make sure you're buying property to put it on!
Rent like in most places has gone way up in the last few years. The new owner probably wants to get ride of the old trailers. Have new ones brought in a rent them for twice if not more then what these people been paying. He wants to put in new plumbing and other things. So rather then someone living in a trailor and paying 200 a month. He then because of new remodeling will be charging 800 or more dollars a month. Glathead sre is very expensive. The homes vost over 500,000 and up. It has the lake that people can bring their boat too. All kinds of expensive places to eat. If he brings in double wide trailors he can then ask twice as much for rent. He did not buy the property to not think he could make allot of money. I drove truck to Flathead for years. He foes not know these people personally. He does not care if they end up homeless or anything else. He just does not want negative publicity on the news about him. It is foubtful people on disability could afford a new rent hike if it was just 50 dollars a month more. Never mind hundreds of dollars more. They will not even be able to pay to move the trailors by truck. And where two. And then more money to put it on another piece of land. Most if not sll will not even be able to afford to get a another place to live because of the high cost. Even if they just leave. First and last month rent forget it. I feel bad for those people because I could have been one of them. Anyone could have been.
At the end of the day, despite it being a seemingly shitty thing he's doing, the truth is it's STILL his property to do withas he wants...
Removing these trashy trailers will make the area better. If he owns the land, he can close the park and evict. Not sure why or even if he is lying. But these trashy mobile home parks are terrible for a city. In most states, the pay about three bucks a month in school taxes while a REAL homeowner might pay a few hundred.
@@f5fstop omg, seriously. Let's us hope that nothing like this happens to you.
🤑🤑🤑🤑
Because all those black people got free money because of those pipes in Flint michigan, and now plumbers are going to get a fortune to replace all the pipes because the government's going to pay for it called infrastructure repair. Even if the pipes there's not a damn thing wrong with them they want to get paid to rip up the ground to put new pipes in. After they put the new pipes in why do all the trailers have to be gone? Probably because they're going to install houses there owned by corporations. It's all about the money. If it's a flood zone why would you replace and repair the pipes because if you can't put a trailer there why would you want to put a house there. Sounds kind of fishy to me sounds like he wants to get newer and nicer trailers back in there and jack up the rates.
WTF are you babbling about?
