                              Item 5. Other Events

     On July 6, 1998, a Petition for Writ of Mandate (the  "Petition") was filed
by Eugene R. Atherton, M.D. ("Petitioner") in the Superior Court of the State of
California, Orange County, against the City of Laguna Beach Council Members (the
"City Council") and others (Atherton v. City of Laguna Beach, et al., Action No.
796478),  challenging the City's  compliance  with the California  Environmental
Quality Act  ("CEQA") in  connection  with its review and  consideration  of the
master  plan (the  "Plan") for the  development  of the land  formerly  known as
Treasure  Island,  a former  mobile  home  community  located  in Laguna  Beach,
California (the  "Property").  The Petition seeks a Writ of Mandate vacating the
City  Council's  resolution  approving  the  Plan.  Treasure  Island  Associates
("TIA"),  a joint venture  partnership  between MLH Income Realty Partnership VI
(the "Registrant") and an unaffiliated entity, and Merrill Lynch, Hubbard, Inc.,
an  affiliated  entity,  and The Athens  Group,  an affiliate  of  Vestar-Athens
Resorts, L.L.C., a Phoenix, Arizona based real estate developer ("Athens"),  are
named as "real parties of interest" in the Petition.  TIA and Athens  executed a
contract on June 2, 1998 for the sale of the Property to Athens. 

     Consummation  of the  sale is  subject  to  several  conditions,  including
approval of the Plan by the City Council and the California  Coastal  Commission
(the "Coastal  Commission"),  and the  expiration of all  administrative  appeal
periods and statutes of limitation relating to such approvals without the filing
of an appeal or a  lawsuit,  and there can be no  assurance  that a sale will be
consummated.  The Plan was approved by the Laguna Beach Planning Commission (the
"Planning  Commission")  on April 15,  1998 and by the City  Council  on June 2,
1998. Since the Property is oceanfront property,  the Plan must also be approved
by the  Coastal  Commission  before the City of Laguna  Beach can issue  further
permits and approvals to implement the Plan. The filing of the Petition does not
suspend the  processing of the Plan by the Coastal  Commission or the processing
by the City of further  permits or approvals to implement the Plan.  Counsel for
the Registrant  believes that the  administrative  record  contains  substantial
evidence to support the City Council's  decision and will urge the Court to deny
the  Petitioner's  request  for a writ of  mandate.  In the event that the Court
grants  the  Petitioner's  request  and  vacates  in full or in  part  the  City
Council's  resolution  approving the Plan,  further  proceedings by the Planning
Commission  and the City  Council  regarding  the Plan  would be  required.  The
outcome of any such  proceedings  cannot be predicted at this time. In the event
that there is no final  resolution of the Petition by December 31, 1998,  TIA is
no longer  obligated  to sell the  Property  to Athens  and  Athens is no longer
obligated to buy the Property from TIA. In such case,  TIA may then determine to
sell the  Property  to  another  buyer.  

     The Registrant  wishes to ensure that  statements  made regarding  expected
future  developments  regarding  the  Property  are  accompanied  by  meaningful
cautionary  statements  pursuant to the safe harbor  established  in the Private
Securities  Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward looking  statements are
based upon current available data and reflect the Registrant's expectations that
the Plan will be accepted by the Coastal  Commission  and that the Property will
be sold to Athens.  Actual receipt of such approvals and closing of the sale are
subject to future events and  uncertainties  which could  materially  affect the
ability of the  Registrant to receive these  approvals and  consummate the sale.
Among the factors which could materially  affect the Registrant's  prospects for
receiving the approvals and closing of the sale are: (i) uncertainties regarding
the granting of approval by the Coastal  Commission and further approvals by the
City Council and the Planning  Commission  required to implement the Plan,  (ii)
possible delays in the  administrative  process required to obtain the approvals
which are outside  the  control of the  Registrant,  (iii)  objections  by third
parties  to the Plan,  including  uncertainties  regarding  the  outcome  of the
Petition,  and possible other  litigation,  which could  significantly  delay or
ultimately  prevent the receipt of the approvals,  and (iv) failure of Athens to
close for any  reason.  There can be no  assurance  that the  approvals  will be
obtained  or that the sale  will be  consummated.  If the sale to  Athens is not
consummated and the Registrant determines to sell the Property to another buyer,
there can be no assurance that such sale will be consummated.
