Facts

Gracious Estates was a mobile home park that was anything but gracious. Hillview (P) owned the Estates, and the tenants were very dissatisfied with the rent and the general condition of the park. A tenants committee was formed and approached the management. That eventually resulted in physical violence and shouting matches. P served ultimatums on all tenants requiring them to sign the park rules or be evicted. P served notice of termination on Bloomquist et al., (D). P later discovered the notice did not provide specific grounds for termination as required by statute. P then served a proper notice with 60 days time to quit. D remained in possession and P served a three-day notice to quit but D still remained in possession. P filed a forcible entry and detainer action. D countered with retaliatory eviction and waiver.
