Can my Manager evict my son from my mobile home?

Question

Hi,
My son is 22 years old, He lives with me in my mobile home I have parked in a trailer park.
He's almost finish with his schooling and if he passes his certification exam he can start working.
The landlord of our trailer park just got inherited by another person after the original owner died and the new manager wants to evict my son. Because he argued with her over the fact that she wants to move our mobile home and a few others out of the park because they're too big.

They have been here since before I moved in. I now own the mobile home but rent the spot it's on.

It would be very hard for me, since he pays the utilities and buys food. I only pay the rent.

And also he is disabled (MS) so some days he's okay and others he needs my help.

We can't really split ways and we can't afford to move our mobile home out of the park
( we can't take the risk of it getting damaged

Answer 1

He can. Your son is not on the lease, and does not have any legal right to be on the land against the landlords wishes. He evicts him and then has him arrested for trespassing if he returns to the property.



It will cost the landlord about 500 to do this though, so if your son acts decently it is not that likely to happen.

Answer 2

You have extra protection against being evicted in a mobile home park in California. I will give you a link to the rules. The section on evictions starts on page 13.



But, she can only evict your son or you, for failure to pay the rent, or for violating a rule (but they must follow rules and give you warnings - basically, you get 3 strikes). I cut and pasted the recap from page 14:



Recap:

●

Park manager must specify the

rule that was broken and explain the details.

●

Park must give resident seven days to correct the rule violation.

●

If resident violates rule more than twice in 12

-

month period, park may

proceed with eviction whether or not resident corrected the violation.

You could print out the section on evictions and the front page, and give it to your manager.



Edit: Owners can ONLY be evicted for the above 2 reasons.

Answer 3

You'd better see an attorney. If your mobile home is "too big" under some new ordinance or zoning regulation, it is entirely possible they could make you move. If son threatened the park owner, or the owner believes there's any risk son could become violent or other problem, it might (or might not) be possible to evict the son. You need an attorney. We have no idea where your mobile home park is, what zoning & ordinances are, etc.
