My father has got himself in to what appears to be a real mess.  He
resides in Indiana and had purchased some land south of Orlando.  As
they are getting the permits for the modular, sewer and water, he has
now been informed that the land must be greater then 1/2 acre to place
a module on to it.

The real estate agent knew what the land was being purchased for and
never mentioned this as a problem.  Now he, real estate agent, claims
that he never knew that about the minimum acreage requirements.  The
modular is due to be delivered in less then a month and they will not
place it unless he can get a variance.  But if it is not filed the
15th, then it will not even be considered until September 15th.

Of course they will not put in the septic system either due to this.

Where should he start on this?  Their dream get away place is turned
in to a nightmare.

Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Randy B.

I would say first, if the realtor isnt the broker of his office, a call
placed to the broker to vent some frustration, and ask for help would
be my first call.  His broker (if he isnt one) doesnt want your father
to be upset. Maybe he can coax the realtor in picking up the ball and
assisting on the variance request.  Next, was there any written
disclosures about what the land was good for or not good for? I would
look to the appraisal for that.  Finally, did your father get a good
deal on the land, and what is the land's highest and best use?  Perhaps
he can "trade" it to someone with a suitable lot for a modular, you
never know what someone else wants, until you ask.  Good luck with
this.
