I had a mh in a park that someone from out of state was interested in. The wife had called and inquired. Photos were sent. Her brother viewed the inside of the home on her behalf. etc. She wanted it held for 1 1/2 months until she was moving up. We worked out a holding fee for 1 month. I messed up and didn't send that it was non refundable. She came up and looked at it with another brother and then didn't feel it was large enough to keep.
She was downsizing from a 3/2 to a single wide with addition.
She then asked for her money back. She was well aware that the home was taken off market for only her and that was the reason for the money. She was also well aware of the non refundable nature.
However since I didn't get a form signed I now have a letter requesting a refund of the total amount from the husband. The letter states I allowed it to be held and if he didn't like it amt would be refunded.
The husband did sign application along with wife.
I know my mistake was not getting a form signed. Do I have a leg to stand on?
MH is in personal name and check was made out to business name.
