On my birthday the landlord finally had someone cut down the Sweet Gum tree outside of the Master Bedroom. It ended up falling through the house directly across the bed with my guns underneath of it. Current losses outside of suddenly moving and the loss of bedroom furnishings:Benelli Super Nova in Camo has a badly bent barrelSavage 17 HMR crushed with usability unknown. It looks like it was used to beat a tractor into submission.Ruger 10/22 may be ok but action is loose in the stock. Weaver scope may or may not be ok.Tommy gun clone was pushed out the wall. It may just need to be re Cerrakoted.New barrel for my Ruger M77 damage unk. Will have to see if it is straight or not. The guy that cut it doesn't have any insurance. We didn't have insurance because for an older single wide it was way to expensive. Likely the landlord's insurance may pay a little for the mobile but its doubtful on the contents. Anybody selling parts cheap for these guns? Or should I just sell them for scrap iron?If any body is interested in selling a 30' RV for a really good deal we might be interested so we could at least have a place to call our own.I know I'm just griping and crying over spilled milk but it has been an intense month without this extra stuff happening.
 
take a ride to the courthouse, ask them nicely to help you file a claim. You should be able to sue the landlord for the cost of the mobile home, the contents, moving expenses, and whatever other expenses his little screw up cost you.
 
He sounds like a cheap Bastard!! If he wont fork over for the gun damage tell you will take free rent equal to damage??
 
Sue him and the tree guy in small claims court. Document everything and if what happened is correct you will win. They are responsible. Shame on you for not having insurance.
Happy Birthday.

Not sure what your lease looks like but likely he would be liable since his contractor did the damage

I sounds like you owned the trailer, and you were just leasing the land correct?

I am a landlord I assure you he would rather settle than go to court. Is the damage low enough for small claims if so that's the easy way to go with little cost to you.
