Can a mobile park owner evict a tenant by giving themonly 3 days to get out?
I own a mobile home and rent the land that it sits on. A few years ago the park was bought by a company. I have not signed any lease agreement for this new owner whatsoever and they have owned the park for a few years now. I have gotten a little bit behind on my lot rent but have signed a paper stating that I will pay an extra $50 a month on top of what I already pay to get caught up.

If you are behind in your rent for the space of your mobile home, the landlord can serve you with a three day notice to pay or quit. This written notice is a statutory procedure to allow the tenant to get caught up within the three day period by paying the delinquent rent and if done in that period, the landlord has no basis to institute any eviction proceedings.
If you have recently signed a new document with the current landlord with a payment schedule for current rent and rent in arrears as a payment plan to get caught up on past rent, it appears that the landlord is willing to work with you on rental payments and keep you as a tenant.
Good luck.
