I recently rented a mobile home, and the contract my husband signed said that because we were renting it at a low rate, we were responsible for maintenance, repairs, things like that. As soon as we moved in, we discovered only one light fixture works because there are major wiring problems. On top of that, because the mobile home is in a mobile home park, the water lines are connected. After two days we got the "handy man" to come over and turn on the water, but he said there are plumbing problems, and the pipes were leaking and refused to turn on the water, because it would not be fair to the others in the park (becuse there is only one water bill that is divided up among everyone). We called the management, and they said we have to pay them to fix the plumbing or hire someone else, and until then, will not let us have water. Since on the lease we agreed to maintenance and repairs, can they do this?
