If you have signed a contract to buy the mobile home, then he can't stop you from buying that mobile home.
But he does not HAVE to lease you the use of that lot! There is no law that says he has to.
You would be required to finalize the purchase of the mobile home, and move it to a different site. If you still want it under those circumstances, then I suggest you look for a lot to lease as soon as possible.

Yes due to the fact that you are buying a mobile home on a rented lot you have to have the park owners approval for the rental of the land your owned mobile home will be sitting on.
It is like that with all mobile home parks and they can deny you on what ever terms they demand that you do not meet.
Typically they would take your application and then deny you on credit, income, pet or age restrictions. Don't forget the park owner owns the land that your home will be sitting on so I am sure he/she knows the laws quite well.
My suggestion is move on and find something else, you are beating your head against a wall. Then if by some limited chance you do get in he/she will be on you like crazy if they don't want you and that could get really miserable, it just isn't worth it!

Yes he can do this, but he must refund all of your money immediately. If he doesn't, you can sue him. Call the Police if he says he won't give you the money back. I hope you have receipts & paperwork or you are going to have a hard time getting your cash back. Mobile homes are considered real property & the land that leases out the lot is a separate entity that is usually very hard to work with if you are a new owner of a used mobile home. Most Mobile Home Parks won't allow the new tenant to live in the home unless you have passed a credit check & can show proof of income that meets their requirements. If you were to pay for it & take full title, you would probably have to pay to have it moved to another trailer park & this is risky & costly for an older model. The guy might be doing you a favor. Park Managers can be a real pain to deal with. They can & do pick & choose who lives in their park!

As a former landlord the laws are tricky. Like these folks say the
trailer park stuff I am not too keen on. I believe the owner of the lot can be as much of an assssp as he wants. Your money down u may need to sue for.
If they are like this now how much more rotten will they be later on.
Collect your belongings, in my opinion say aloha and find one of the hundreds of other places ready for your good money.
Snow birds have left so the creatures come out and yack. We have
a really nice Winnebago. From Hawaii in Florida to see the late
fathers widow & work finish carpentry. The bieeetches come out now, fight with me and OH when he comes home all nice nice.

Discrimination is a time period incredibly overused those days each and anytime someone needs something they could't have. Pets are not any more human beings so discrimination does no longer word to them. maximum residences settle for pets with puppy deposits and better condo expenditures in accordance to month. discover those residences and also you received't have a pork. yet to anticipate that each and each one position of abode complexes could settle for pets is ludicrous. that's no longer a lot about the pets themselves even if the persons who enable them ruin the sources. it truly is intense priced to a condo. Your intent is inane and over simplistic. I actually have lived in complexes that were for experts in straightforward words without children. that's their determination. And yours. i recognize there are complexes that are pupil in straightforward words. As an grownup i'd not pick to stay there nor ought to I. Who cares? %. the position of abode complicated or condo that the majority suitable matches your needs and not in any respect the full frigging international's themes.

A landlord has the right to refuse to rent property to anybody he wants to PROVIDED he does not refuse SOLELY on the basis of race, religion, sex or sexual orientation.
Especially if he has received reports that the person is "an undesirable."
BUT... He must return your deposit.

Yes it is completely legal. No one is forced to do business with anyone else. If this landowner does not wish to rent his land to you and do business with you, that is his decision. If this owner chooses to rent his property to someone else, that is well within his legal rights. Your are **** out of luck here.
