It has come to my attention that the park may possibly be installing a water meter to one individual trailer that is receiving blame for running their water and preventing the water from getting through to another trailer. If this indeed does happen, I shall be recommending that the park lawyer look into the following right of the tennants to not pay their rent; because, we have not been issued "park rules" especially in regards to water usage.
Further take notice that the landlord has not lived up to their responsibilities in maintaining the park as outlined in previous emails and is further evident upon driving through the park and almost bottoming your car out in our potholes.
If I as an individual can obtain all of the necessary materials to support our case and provide it with links to where that information comes from, I do not understand why I am still feeling as though this park is falling through the cracks and loopholes of society that we all live in. If you were to live just 1 week within the confines of this park, you would understand the shortcomings and neglect that this park has had to deal with for years. Please do not simply turn a blind eye our way, we do have RIGHTS and eventually someone will stand up for our rights. The people of this park do have a lawyer and like any other citizen in this great country of ours, we will have our day in court if there is no other way to re-instate our rights.

Rights and responsibilities
Park rules
If a landlord of a mobile home park or land lease community has made park rules, they must give a written copy of those rules to each tenant. The landlord must also notify each tenant in writing of any changes to the park rules.
If a landlord doesn’t give a tenant a copy of the park rules or inform them in writing of any changes, then the tenant can refuse to pay their rent until the landlord gives them the information. However, once the landlord gives the information to the tenant, the tenant must pay back any rent that they withheld. If they don’t, the landlord can give the tenant a notice to end the tenancy for non-payment of rent.
Maintenance and repair
All of the rules about maintenance and repair which apply to other tenants and landlords also apply to mobile home parks and land lease communities. These rules are explained in the Board’s brochure, Maintenance and Repairs.
In a mobile home park or land lease community, the landlord has these additional responsibilities:
- removing or disposing of garbage or ensuring that arrangements are made to remove or dispose of garbage on a regular basis,
- maintaining roads in the park or community in a good state of repair,
- removing snow from the roads,
- maintaining the water supply, sewage disposal, fuel, drainage and electrical systems of the park or community in a good state of repair,
- maintaining the grounds and all buildings, structures, enclosures and equipment that are intended for the common use of tenants in a good state of repair,
- repairing any damage to a tenant’s property (including the mobile home) that was deliberately caused by the landlord or resulted from the landlord’s neglect.
