Legal Answers
Q. I have a question on buying a property with rented mobile home lots.
A: You are on notice of a rental agreement so you are bound by the terms. Once you know the terms and conditions as well as the length of the agreement (term) you can cancel the contract or refuse to renew.

There are very specific laws regarding mobile home parks and the eviction process. It is more than just an eviction and the length of the agreement could easily be a number of years
Q. I was in a land contract and the landlord kept renewing it every year n raising the rent now he is making us month to mo
A: The terms of the land installment agreement should be in writing and recorded with the County Recorder.

Unless the contract allows the rent to be modified by the landlord, the landlord cannot change the amount of the rent or the term
Q. What are my options if I was sold a property without knowing the boundary line is inside my garage?
A: Have a survey performed, and if your neighbor is correct file a temporary restraining order against further construction and a declaratory judgment action for the court to determine the rights of the parties. It is not when you purchased the property, but when the home was constructed, (or may be even before construction). You would try to establish that the previous owners claimed the property to be theirs openly and adversely for a period of 21 years.

Alternatively, the Court may say that your neighbor acquiesced by sitting by and allowing your house to be built. The Court could say that the neighbor must mitigate his damages by building as though your house is properly located, and then the neighbor could be compensated for any diminution of fair market value.

There is always the possibility that a court could say your house is not properly located and force you to remove the garage. Both you and your neighbor could have significant money at risk, so you should approach any negotiations as an opportunity to save and not as an opportunity to win.
