A: As a tenant in a mobile home park, you have certain rights under California law. These rights may include:

Right to a habitable dwelling: The landlord is required to provide you with a habitable and safe living space.

Right to peaceful enjoyment: The landlord must allow you to enjoy your home without interference.

Right to repairs: The landlord is responsible for making repairs to your home and the common areas of the park.

Right to a written rental agreement: You have the right to receive a written rental agreement that outlines the terms of your tenancy.

Right to notice: The landlord must give you proper notice before entering your home or making any changes to your rental agreement.

Right to fair housing: You have the right to be free from discrimination based on your race, gender, sexual orientation, or other protected categories.

In terms of your specific issue with the cracked driveway, you may have the right to request repairs from your landlord. It's important to document the issue with photos and written requests for repairs. If your landlord fails to make repairs, you may have the right to withhold rent or seek legal action.

If you have concerns about your managers, you may want to review your rental agreement and contact a tenant advocacy organization or attorney for further guidance.
