Great to meet you, Tiffany! How can I assist you with your legal issue today?
what should be my next step?
Hi Tiffany! Since you've contacted the office multiple times without a response and it's a safety concern, you might consider sending a formal written notice requesting pest control services. If they still don't respond, you could explore options through New Jersey tenant rights or consult a local attorney for assistance.
I live in Indiana
Hi Tiffany! In Indiana, you can send a formal written notice to your mobile home community management requesting pest control services for the safety hazard. If they don't respond, consider checking Indiana tenant rights or consult a local attorney for assistance. Would you like more details on tenant rights in Indiana?
Yes plz I’m concerned about retaliation with them because they’ve done that in the past. I know that that’s not legal, but I’ve heard that Indiana the laws are kind of vague and more favorite landlords, but there are many other issues that have occurred. This one is the worst and the most dangerous one.

do I need to go to a lawyer? I know that they mentioned contacting the health department or consumer rights in Indiana, but I didn’t know if that was the right path or not if I’ve sent documentation via email in all of my communication is that considered formal?

Email documentation can be considered formal communication. However, consulting a lawyer may provide stronger support, especially if you're concerned about retaliation or have faced multiple issues. Contacting the health department or consumer protection can also be effective. Would you like more guidance on these options?
Yeah I guess which option is the best I know that code enforcement does not do much in Indiana specifically in Elkhart Indiana if contacting a lawyer is the best route that you would suggest I could do that or if you know about the Indiana consumer rights or health department route as well
