I live in a mobile home park in Utah and I am renting to own my Mobile Home. My son is a felon and has come to visit me a couple of times and has stayed once overnight as a guest in my home. He has caused no problem and I have read through my lease agreement and there is nothing mentioning that he can not come visit me, however the manager came to my home today and informed me that if he is seen on the property or in my home then they will call the cops and have him removed and my lease will be terminated. I have had nothing but issues with this park for about the last year or the 5 I have lived here is this a breach of lease and what can I do about it?

It is not a breach for him to threaten to do this. It would be a breach for him to actually do this, unless there are specific park rules about ex felons on the property, and/or, he is causing trouble.

So, you will have to wait and see I he does, Also, have to see what police do, since they can not remove someone from your home, unless there is a legal reason.

If you son is a felon and you are harboring him you are committing an illegal act. Breaking the law is a deal breaker and it DOES NOT have to be specified in your lease. Either leave the park or ask your son to leave. Would you want to have a felon living next door to you?

Fr Chuck... he did not say EX felon. My answer is based on him currently being a felon. If he truly IS an EX felon... then you are correct. Which is it sharkelly?

He served his time and has not gotten into any further trouble and has caused no trouble

That is what I was thinking. Just wish they would leave him alone and let him do good

I was looking for help not criticism thanks and I would rather live by an EX felon that has turned his life around then someone that would judge without knowing

How did your landlord find out that he was even an ex felon ?

sharkelley71 · Oct 4, 2014, 02:14 AM

I don't know how the landlord found out he was a felon but when he asked I told the truth

Does your son have a PO? If so I would ask the PO about this. But otherwise I'm with Chuck. Unless the park has specific, PUBLISHED rules that prohibit ex felons from entering the property, there is nothing they can do legally to evict you.

You DO need to read your purchase contract carefully to make sure there is nothing there either.

And I would tell the manager, that your son has paid the price for his crime and that he has not been in any trouble since. Tell him that you will fight any attempt to interfere with your right to have your son visit.

There is no such thing as an ex felon. Once a felon, always a felon. What matters is whether or not a felon is on parole, etc.
But this is all just semantics. What matters here is the contract YOU have with the trailer park owner. If you don't have a copy, then get one!
We can speculate all over the place, but we will be spinning our wheels. Many leases do have rules about visitors, overnight guests, and extra cars parked outside.
