These are the terms of my mobile home park lot lease that apply to my situation.
1. The landord reserves the right and it is understood by the tenant that the tenant will have 5 days to move their mobile home, if asked to do so by the landlord. Any advance payment of rent upon the actual rent of occupancy may be returned to the tenant when asked to leave. It shall not be necessary for the landlord to specify any reason for asking the tenant to leave.
2. Tenants having additional persons in the mobile home must register them at the office. There is a charge for people staying overnight.
3. The tenant hereby covenants and agrees that if any rent shall be due and unpaid or if default shall be made in any of the agreements or covenants herein contained on the part of the tenant to be kept, observed, and performed, then, in that event, it shall be lawful for the landlord to enter the premises and remove all persons by summary proceeding or otherwise.

Landllady approved my hosting of a foreign student for a semester on a Tuesday in January. The next day she changed her mind and said she could not violate her own lease.
There is a couple in here who are grandparents and their grandchild is allowed to stay overnight, 5 nights a week. After a period of 6 months or so, that grandchild will have spent more nights than my foreign student would have spent during the single semester.
I've lived here 7 years. Not that length of residence allows her to give me a break on a rule, but I did go straight to her, 8 months in advance and told her upfront what I was planning and I offered the $13 per month for the water bill, which we all pay per person, and the daily rent. She does not like things behind her back and I was upfront.
I hope to speak to an attorney
but I'm trying to see which rule is being violated by my being allowed to host a student.
The above rules mention 4 types of persons, occupants, reside (residents), guests and visitors. I classified my student as a guest or visitor. In changing her mind the land lady was afraid others would complain and want to copy cat. not true, as all the others in here are already parents or grandparents.
As I look at the eviction papers I see that
Rules of Eviction
A. You must give a written 30 day notice for undesirable tenant.
.....................do grounds for eviction as undesirable tenant include type of car, color of hair, etc.?...........
4. That grounds for eviction are:
a. failure to pay rent
b. term of occupancy has ended
c. a term or condition of lease has been violated to wit:
........................fo
r C. there is a space to "explain" the reason...........I wonder what types of reasons would be rejected by a judge.
