SARTELL

Mobile home park sued over utilities, sewage

Four residents of Sartell Manufactured Home Park filed a class action lawsuit against the park’s owners on Oct. 22, according to a media release from Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid and Minneapolis-based law firm Robins Kaplan LLP.

The residents’ suit lists allegations including raw sewage exposure, utility overcharges and the enforcement of invalid leases, according to the release.

The case also alleges the defendants:

— Knowingly operated compromised water and sewage systems that cause human excrement and other sewage to back up into residents’ homes and leak onto rented lots and community spaces.

— Installed utility meters under each home with the stated purpose of charging each resident for the utilities that they use, but the meters charge residents for inaccurate utility use.

— Falsely informed Sartell Manufactured Home Park residents that state law required them to re-sign their leases under duress and threat of eviction. Sartell Manufactured Home Park did not respond to a request for comment.
