Syringa Mobile Home Park owner to pay nearly $300K as part of settlement

Magar E. Magar, owner of Syringa Mobile Home Park, will pay a total of $282,000 to current and former park residents for enduring three months without clean water from 2013 to early 2014 and for other damages residents sustained in recent years.

A settlement was reached in November with Magar’s daughter, who is effectively in control of the park.

Latah County Judge John Stegner approved the settlement Monday morning at a fairness hearing in which some Syringa residents attended and voiced the suffering they have endured as a result of the park owner’s unfair treatment.
