Read the lease terms on the lot rental contract, the mobile home park rules and regulations that are posted and made part of that contract, and see what is and what is not covered under those terms that you signed. These things are generally a contract issue.

This all depends on the terms of the agreement your Landlord made with DHHS in exchange for accepting the emergency rental assistance funds.

Well, a wrongful detainer action (WD) is where the owner of the home claims that there is a person living in the property who doesn't have a legal right to be there. If the owner files, it will come before a judge who will need to make a determination as to whether the person alleged to be... View More

The answer is, unfortunately, not really. Landlord's have the right to give notice to a tenant at the end of a lease term. It sounds like you were on a month-to-month lease (correct me if I'm wrong as it would change the case entirely).

Depends on how threatening it is, what the lease says and whether the sister is staying there. If an invitee/guest is breaching the lease, that breach can "rub off" on the tenant as well.

Yes, and no contrary provision in your written lease is legal to alter the 90 day notice to quit requirement for year-to-year leases. However, a lease with a one year term is not a year-to-year lease simply on account of the lease term being one year. A year-to-year tenancy automatically renews... View More
