I believe she is doing this in retaliation over an argument we had about my daughter and son in law staying in a motorhome out in front of my lot

Do you have a lease or is it month to month.

Month to month they don't NEED to show cause. If you violated the lease by having them parked and living in a mobile home on your rented lot and not paying rent to the property owner... that MIGHT be a violation of the lease, rules or covenents and would be cause on their part IF it is and they could consider a breach of the lease and proceed to file to evict you.

What state is this... laws vary by locale.

As noted, if you do not have a lease, then either of you can terminate the tenancy at any time with sufficient notice.

So what has happened at this point?

My understanding of the laws about mobilehome park if you are the owner of the mobile home the land lord cannot evict without just cause

Where did you get this understanding? And again, what has happened to this point? What notices have you received?

1. sounds like cause to me, additional people living on property

2. on month to month rental do not need cause merely notice.

So while you don't feel they have cause, from what little you have written most of the experts here see proper cause to start with.

Next sorry but not sure where mobile home law came in, but in rental law normally there is no cause needed on month to month rentals

The info I got can off a legal site where it states that and I have gotten a notice to vacate

Please provide a link to that site so we can verify it. I was able to confirm that mobile home parks follow different rules, but wasn't able to find what those rules are.

Be careful... they can use that against you as well for the squaters in the mobile home living on your lot and not paying utilities, rent etc.

Did you check your papers to see if that was prohibited.

Visitors are one thing... setting up a second house on a single trailer lot effectively is another.
