More details to this question:
I bought a mobile home in 2020, I was told that I didn't need any permits or any kind of work to be done to the land in order for it to be habitable. After signing the contracts, they told me I had had to pay for permits and elevate the land, make a new septic tank even though I had paid for one to be made already. Now I'm at the last thing that I need which is the straps for the mobile homes' stability. It was not properly installed, which was included in my contract. the builder did not want the blueprint when he originally came to install the home. due to this the home was not at the correct height and I had to pay the builder to come out lift it to the correct height. at that time, he specified that if i paid extra he could make it sturdier. but he used the same straps and just clamped them together. the inspector won't sign with the home that way and the builder won't come back to fix it.

You need to hire another contractor to do whatever the inspector requires to insure that the mobile home is stable and that the work is completed properly.You can then make determination whether it is worthwhile to pursue the original contractor for breach of contract and/or for breach of the implied warranty of good and workmanlike performance. My guess is that the cost to complete the work properly will be less than $20,000. If so, you can file a lawsuit without an attorney in a justice of the peace court to recover that amount from the original contractor who won't fix the problem.
