An Anchorage civil rights firm has filed a lawsuit on behalf of 19 Soldotna trailer park residents facing eviction. The lawsuit claims not just an illegal eviction, but long standing problems at the trailer park related to the availability of clean water.

Aneliese Palmer, an attorney with the Northern Justice Project, said a group of trailer park tenants approached the Anchorage-based civil rights firm with concerns about their landlord. The tenants of River Terrace RV Park in Soldotna received a notice of eviction in July, and have to be out by May.

“And at the same time, their water, which has had problems for years and years and years, had gotten so bad that they were without basic running water,” Palmer said. “So the confluence of this was they said, ‘enough is enough, we need to assert our rights as tenants, we need to take legal action.”’
