Any rental has to meet standards or the landlord is in the wrong. What the standards are may be affected by the local laws but I think HUD may be involved too.

You may have legal recourse,but,if it isn't *too* inconvenient then do You want to make an enemy of the landlord? Maybe just mention the "sinking" and pull the window screws Yourself? I have no clue as to if windows in a MH are considered "fire escapes" or not,if it was door screwed shut then that's for sure a violation for the landlord,assuming there were only 2 doors anyway.

I would think the landlord would like to know of the sinking/settling,the rental is an investment.

Have You balanced the inconvenience of the problems against the cost of rent? I *do not* suggest You allow Your safety to be risked but inconvenience may be expected if the rent is reasonable.

Hi folks,

Although I am interested in the responses this thread may get I still need to move it to the Off Topic forum.

This is not about repairs.
