A: In California, mobile home park residents are protected under specific laws that govern eviction and rent practices. If your space rent was refused and you were subsequently evicted despite having proof of payment, this could potentially be a wrongful eviction under California law.

It's important to gather all relevant documentation, including proof of rent payment, any communication with the property manager, and eviction notices. This documentation can be critical in demonstrating that the eviction was not in compliance with legal procedures.

Since you've already filed a complaint, the next step is to follow through with the legal process. This may involve working with a legal professional who can guide you through the complexities of housing law and represent your interests effectively.

If you sold your mobile home due to the eviction, the circumstances of the sale might also be relevant to your case. If the eviction was wrongful, it might have forced you into a sale under duress, which could have additional legal implications.

Keep in mind that each case is unique, and the success of your complaint will depend on the specific facts and evidence. Legal advice tailored to your individual situation is crucial to understand your rights and options moving forward.

If you haven't already, consider seeking advice from an attorney experienced in landlord-tenant law, particularly those specializing in mobile home park regulations in California. They can provide a detailed understanding of your rights and the best course of action to take in your specific circumstances.
