Response: They can be moved back the same day, just have to start them up and drive them a bit every six months.

  1. Lot 75 trailer is back, can’t tell if it’s licensed but it is not motorized

Response: Bylaws or PC&Rs clarify that trailers can’t be lived in for more than 30 days

  1. Lot 177 are renters and don’t own the trailer on their property

Response: if it’s on their property they are responsible for making sure it complies, whether they own it or not 

  1. Another property has appliances and other junk outside
