Mobile Home Insurance Eviction

Summary

A tenant in Mississippi is struggling to secure mobile home insurance as required by their landlord. The tenant has contacted multiple insurance companies but has been unsuccessful due to the title of the home not being in their name. The landlord is threatening eviction if the tenant cannot secure homeowners insurance.

I'm renting to own a mobile home and my landlord is threatening to evict me by the 15th of this month if I don't get homeowners insurance I can't find an insurance company that offers mobile home homeowners insurance in my area. Can she evict me if I can't get mobile home homeowners insurance?

Hello **** ****, to provide you with the most accurate information, could you please tell me in which state you are living?

In Mississippi:
- Landlords can require tenants to obtain insurance as part of the lease agreement.

Check with your landlord if an exception can be made due to your circumstances.

I'm sorry to hear about your difficulties. In Mississippi, typically, if you're not the title holder, you can't obtain mobile home homeowners insurance. However, some local insurance agencies could help.

They didn't answer, I'm guessing their on lunch break. Can she evict me for not having home owners insurance when I don't own the home is still in her name?

In Mississippi, the landlord can't evict you for not having homeowners insurance if you're not the property owner. They can, however, require you to have renters insurance. Please consult a local attorney to understand this better.
