MIU Eviction Forum

My family knows many trustee board members. One of those members gave me a copy of Robert's letter. That member said that the decision to close the trailer park was not unanimous.

I was happy to read Robert's letter and see that someone is speaking up for the evicted residents. It is worth reading this letter.

This forum site did not want to accept the letter if there was a link in it, so I removed the link.

Please share this forum website with your friends and on social media. I am aware that there is not much housing available in Fairfield, so all the help the residents can get will be useful.

I asked my board member friend if Raja Ram knows about this eviction. The board member did not know.

If anyone knows how to get the forum URL to Raja Ram, then please do so.

The only approach offered by MIU to request maintenance is to use the following link happyfox website. Here is the link:
Trailer-maintenance

Some people find the happyfox web  page to be confusing.
Sadly you cannot ask April Stoner in the park office to help. She will tell you that she only does "housing".

If you cannot figure out what to do, or if you put in a ticket and days later you have not been serviced, you might try contacting the head of MIU maintenance:
