The Wisconsin Mfd Home Owners Association  encourages you NOT to BUY a manufactured home. The building process, both on-site and in the factories, is about cutting corners—using inferior quality sheathing, cutting boards too short to meet in the center of studs—problems that promote irregular air exchange within a house and which eventually produce growth of mold and excessive heating bills. 

Additional problems:  fraud, misdealing, false statement, improper assembly, illegally based seizure of homes, defective set up, worthless warranties, and suspect consumer protection.  

If you are unfortunate enough to get caught in this malignant Pandora's Box as an unsuspecting consumer, you will find yourself immersed in an endless war that will consume the rest of your life and your life's income. You will get no satisfaction from HUD or even some legislators and state agencies because many have been corrupted by the MH industry—they have been bought off with big money and the heady power of control over millions of victims.

Your legislator is KEY

To date, legislators have heard very little from us MHP homeowners.  As a group, 99% of them know next to NOTHING about our issues.  We need to change that.  WIMHOA  lobbies at various times at the Capitol on your behalf, through letters, email, personal calls, and visits.  But NUMBERS of people showing up at hearings and legislators' offices always has more impact.

YOU can lobby—make calls, send email or faxes, and write letters from your home—as a member.      Writing on behalf of your WIMHOA-MHP Chapter will have more clout.   Onsite member visits at the Capitol may be infrequent, but plan on appearing as part of a group when WIMHOA emails you to make a show of force for a rally to defend our issues!

SEE BELOW for contact info for all Wisconsin state legislators.   Also BELOW are the pertinent Chapters in Statutes and Administrative Code that YOU should be familiar with when looking for the law that may affect you.

REMEMBER:   Tenant-Landlord issues reside under DATCP 125 and 134 www.datcp.state.wi.us ; see also Statute 704 for rebating rent at www.wisconsin.gov  

ALL OTHER MHP LAW is found under COMMERCE DEPT Administrative Code, Safety and Buildings www.commerce.state.wi.us 

Remember:  Legislators are uneducated about our lifestyle or our issues.  Be persistent and as tenacious as a bulldog—most won't hear you the first or even the second time because they won't believe we live in Little Russia's, or they will side with Big Business.
