HFI purchased the Park from the Vermont State Housing Authority ("VSHA") on December 31, 2023. The Park is managed by the VSHA. 2. Margaret E. Conklin ("Conklin") is the record owner of a certain mobile home described as a 2006 Titan, 14' x 60', bearing Serial #019-012362A-000H, (the "Mobile Home") located at the Mountain View Court Mobile Home Park, Lot #5, 129 Morgan Street in Bennington, Vermont. There is no Bill of Sale on file according to the Bennington Town Clerk. See attached Bennington Grand List Lookup. There is no Bill of Sale in the Bennington Land Records. 3. Conklin leased a lot in the Park from VSHA pursuant to a written lease. Conklin paid a security deposit in the amount of $250.00 to VSHA. See attached Lease. 4. Conklin's last known mailing address is believed to be 291 Springhill Road, Bennington, VT 05201. 5. The mobile home has been abandoned and is empty/unoccupied. The last known resident of the mobile home was Conklin. All of Conklin's personal property is believed to have been removed from the mobile home and utility services have been terminated.

Conklin was evicted from the Park for nonpayment of rent on or about October 2, 2025 by the Bennington County Sheriff's Department. The mobile home has been vacant since that time. The Court issued a Judgment Order and Writ of Possession to HFI on August 29, 2025. See The Housing Foundation, Inc. v. Conklin, Vermont Superior Court, Bennington Civil Unit, Case No. 25-CV-03517. See attached. 7. The following security interests, mortgages, liens and encumbrances appear of record with respect to the mobile home: a.

See attached copy of Tax Bill and Delinquent Tax Report. 8. Mobile home storage fees continue to accrue at the rate of $521.00 per month. Rent/ storage fees due HFI through February, 2026 total $5,970.88. Attorney's fees and court costs incurred by HFI currently exceed $2,000.00. 9. HFI sent written notice by certified mail to the Town of Bennington on January 28, 2026 of its intent to commence this action. See attached. 10. The mobile home is uninhabitable.

WHEREFORE, HFI respectfully requests that the Honorable Court enter an order as follows: 1. Declare that the mobile home has been abandoned; 2.
