Q: Facing eviction from mobile home park without lease agreement; landlord accused of accepting bribes. What are my rights?
I am facing eviction from my mobile home park for not painting a small dirt spot, lacking a handrail for four steps, and having a car parked near the house. There was no lease agreement when I purchased the mobile home. The park manager is unresponsive, and there are allegations among residents that the landlord accepts bribes related to eviction cases. Many residents are experiencing similar issues. What legal rights or options do I have as a homeowner on this land?
A:
I'm sorry to tell you this but you are a month-to-month tenant if you have no lease. You need to consult with a landlord/tenant lawyer right away to review the eviction notices are valid. This is not a problem you can resolve with internet advice and time is of the essence. If you were given notices to cure and did not cure the violations this is a big issue. The allegations of bribes is one that would need to be proven with evidence.
If the eviction is granted you would need to move your mobile home or pay storage fees, which is usually higher than the rent.
