I’m being ‘forced out’ of tiny home over small memorial to my dead son – I had permission but now have 3 days to leave
A MOM said she was given three days to move out of her home because of a memorial she had put up for her dead son.
Pamela Syverson, from Jamestown, North Dakota, situated between Bismarck and Fargo, said she faced eviction from her mobile home park.
Syverson claimed she had been handed a follow-up this week that gave her three days to leave her home, according to NBC affiliate KVLY-TV.
The Western Park Village mobile home park resident said she had installed a flower bed outside of her tiny home as a memorial to her child.
Her son Gunnar Syverson was murdered in 2020.
Syverson said she was surprised as she allegedly had been permitted to install this memorial, according to KVLY-TV.

“Everything was ok'd, I had permission,” she said.
“I had a deputy call and they asked if I was around and it was eviction papers.”
The mom reportedly said her initial eviction notice mentioned that she had breached her lease by installing the flower bed.
Syverson added that she had not previously received a complaint about her flower beds but this changed in February.
The mobile park’s owners Liechty Homes had brought in a new property manager, who was not named, that month.
Liechty Homes’ CEO Lorne Liechty argued the new manager had not done anything wrong.
“Our goal is to create safe and clean communities where people want to live and we engage with the people who live in our communities,” the CEO said.
“She’s done a great job working with the people in our communities to make sure that it is clean and safe.”
The CEO reportedly said his only concerns in the tiny home community were security and cleanliness.
Another resident in the mobile home community said he also faced an eviction notice after the new property manager's arrival, according to KVLY-TV.

Aaron Roehrich said he bought his home two years ago and had spent money making adjustments and renovations to his space.
“I get an email, stating there’s a new property manager,” Roehrich said.
“By March 18th, I’m served my lease termination paperwork.”
“That’s kind of the thing that’s keeping me up at night, is I just don’t know what’s gonna happen next,” he added.
Liechty Homes told The U.S. Sun that it does not comment on individual cases.
"Out of respect for the privacy of all tenants we do not discuss the specifics of any violations, terminations, or evictions," they said.
"It is our strong desire to resolve all lease violations and tenant disputes without issuing terminations," they added.
Liechty Homes said it remained dedicated to providing services and care to its residents.
"Ultimately we find the recent reports related to Western Park Village to be disheartening and inaccurate," they said.
"We welcome all tenants to continue communicating with our property management staff to share their concerns as we move forward together."
