each space has to pay there own trash and the owners of renters are suppose to get the service started, well my landlord has not done it so I had to so I could get my trash picked up. Can I deduct that from my rent since he hasn't done anything. Oh and also he will be getting a reduction in the space rent because of this even though I will be paying trash every three months. Whenever I rented a place water & trash was always paid. Can someone answer this for me? Thanks!

Don't deduct the cost, he can claim you are failing to follow your part of the lease and have you evicted. You should have talked to him before you did anything and documented each conversation. You might also have sent him a registered letter saying he needed to setup trash collection or else HE would be in violation of the lease.
Now that you have set up the trash yourself, you might actually have hurt your case. Talk to him and ask him if you can deduct the cost from your rent check. If he agrees, get it in writing. If he says no, then give him the bill and ask him to pay it. If he says no again, then consider small claims court. Act soon, the longer you wait, the weaker you case will get.

mhhhh, well I don't know about the laws in your state, Im from Puerto Rico, you don't need to pay to have your trash picked up, but I think you should
1. talk to the owner of the property.
if that doesn't work, get legal advise, have in hand your rent contract. That can safe you from any legal problems with the owner of the property.
Hope this works.

Hi, you should contact your housing board--in Canada that would be refered to as Minister of Housing & ask for the regulating body that handles rental in mobile homes matters--as for the US or elsewhere I'm not sure. However, your member of government should be able to tell you.

Review your contract and read it all. Then decide your course of action. then you may be required to send your landlord a written notice stating what he/she can expect.
