The people who own the Hilltop Mobile Home Park have every right to close it down if they want, nobody is arguing about that, but people who live in there say the way this place is being shut down is illegal, and they want their fair share before the deal is done.

 It's moving day for people who live at the Hilltop Mobile Home Park in College Township. The owners gave them a letter telling them to move off of their land by todays date.

One by one homes are being removed, but not everyone is packed up and ready to go, like Matthew Rooke for example. "I'm not really planning on going anywhere right now." Rooke is the president of the Hilltop Homeowners Association. He says the closure of his neighborhood is illegal. "They need to give people more time and also compensation and a chance for residents to make an offer to buy the park which we want." So he and about 20 other people are waiting it out, but Rooke says it's clear the land owner wants them out. "He told me to get out of his office or he'd call the cops." And he did. "It's getting really, really hard here even the people who are sticking it out" Rooke and the other residents may have a case. The Attorney General's Bureau of Consumer Protection is investigating this situation.

A law passed last year says if in compliance, a mobile home park owner has to give nearly six months of notice before evicting residents. On top of that, the law says the owner has to help pay relocation expenses that could range between $2,500 and $4,000 depending on the situation. A representative from the Attorney General’s office says legislators felt this was an important law to pass. “It is something that is going to go a long way for those homeowners with respect to relocating because it’s not easy."

 The attorney general's office is still investigating and expects a decision soon, but for the people who live at Hilltop, the representative had this to say: "We're hoping for compliance and that is typically the way we approach things."

 The investigation at the Attorney General's office may determine that the land owner has to help the residents move financially but it has nothing to do with preventing the park from closing.
