Our mobile home park was recently sold. The new owners are requiring that we paint our houses (and other things) before we can sell our homes. Is this legal??

mobile home parks are kind of strange.... they can require that everything is uniform, somewhat like a covenant. actually, it is a covenant. tell them that you want it in writing, and you want a lawyer to look it over. Also, make it known that you don't agree with it. If you own your home, and rent the land, you have a rental agreement. You need to look at your original agreement, because same still holds true for you, because it wasn't you that changed. Now, be careful, because they can evict you for not following covenant. Meaning, you have an approx. 5K cost of moving your home, and re-setting it elsewhere, when it could have been avoided by just a few buckets of paint.
Good luck!!!! Hope you get it all worked out!!!

I am sorry you lost your wife, this is so sad to hear. Your sister in law is not a good person. I would have all the utilities turned off now and you could stay in a cheep hotel till you found a place to live. She can give you the 30 day notice but moving in and using you is not right so I would just leave and do not leave any UTILITIES on for her to use. What a sad person she must be. Be the better person and leave I hope she feels bad sitting in her mobil home all along IN THE DARK, LOL maybe she will some day be sorry she did this to you and your family.

You need to check the terms of your written lease for your mobile home lot, if any exists. In the absence of any written agreement, you are basically a month-to-month tenant, and the new owner can change the terms of your rental agreement with appropriate notice.
It would appear that the new owner is attempting to 'upgrade' the appearance of the park and improve the quality of the residences which rent space there.

Read your contract for the lease on your lot. I don't believe they can stop you from selling. But a coat of paint may get you higher dollar. Arizona and Florida (among a few states) have some pretty wacky expectations in condo or mobile ownership. Good luck.

It's his park. Do a search for laws in your county, that thar thingy is front of you is a wealth of information.

I don't know. You should have a contract of some sort, and if they haven't made you sign a new one yet, don't worry about it. It's whatever is in writing.
