Most of the rest of plaintiffs evidence involved incidents close in time to the events involving plaintiff. Ken Scott testified that he purchased the mobile home on the lot next to plaintiffs, lot 34, in February 1997. He used his $5000 savings to buy the mobile home. Prior to doing so, he had his real estate agent send defendants a certified letter asking to be qualified as a park resident. Defendants orally refused without stating any reason and told Scott the park did not have a standard written lease. Scott moved in and began sending rent payments to defendants. He was later confronted by Leon Roy, who advised him that he would not be able to stay in the park. Soon after this encounter, someone removed the drain plug from Scott’s kerosene tank causing a fuel spill and a costly clean up by a state environmental team. Someone also threw rocks through his windows and cut off his power. Scott eventually left the park due to the vandalism and associated stress. Although he was offered $7000 for his mobile home, he could not sell it because Leon Roy refused all purchasers. A realtor used by Scott testified that she had sent defendants a certified letter on behalf of two prospective purchasers of the Scott mobile home, but that she had received no response from defendants with respect to either.
