In a dramatic turn of events, a resident has filed a lawsuit against her former landlord, alleging negligence that led to severe personal injuries. Joyce Anne Evans lodged the complaint in the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial Circuit in Pinellas County, Florida, on December 13, 2024, accusing Island in the Sun MHP, LLC of failing to maintain safe premises.

The case centers around an incident on May 21, 2024, when Evans was residing at Island in the Sun MHP’s property located at 100 N Hampton Road in Clearwater. According to the complaint, Evans claims that she suffered significant injuries after tripping and falling due to broken or missing bricks on an outside walkway within the residential manufactured home lot owned by Island in the Sun MHP. The lawsuit asserts that the company neglected its duty to ensure safe conditions for residents and visitors alike.

Evans accuses Island in the Sun MHP of multiple failures including not maintaining or adequately inspecting the walkway around a swimming pool area. The plaintiff alleges that these oversights created hazardous conditions which were not communicated to her despite being known or should have been known by reasonable care from the defendant. Specific accusations include inadequate staffing for maintenance tasks, insufficient employee training for identifying dangerous conditions, and using materials that did not provide a non-slip surface.
