ALL THESE PROBLEMS

By Teresa

HI. MY 22 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER JUST SIGNED A LEASE @ A TRAILOR PARK… MY QUESTION IS: THE LANDLORD HAD HER SIGN THE LEASE, THEN TOLD HER EVERYTHING FROM THE GROUND UP WAS HER RESPONSIBILITY, THAT MEANS THAT  SHE HAS TO PAY FOR THE BROKEN PIPES FROM WINTER, THE WIRES HANGING OUT OF ALL THE WALLS WHERE SOME OF THE BOXES USED TO BE , ALL THE COVERS TAKEN OFF THE ELECTRICAL OUTLETS, WHAT A MESS!! SHE IS PUTTING SO MUCH MONEY INTO THE PIECE OF CRAP TRAILOR, AND STILL PAYING RENT FOR IT… THEY ALSO TOLD HER THAT EVENTUALLY SHE COULD FILE FOR A LOST TITLE ON IT… WHAT ARE WE TO DO?? PPL CAN’T RENT TRAILORS LIKE THIS, CAN THEY??

If your daughter is renting a trailer, there are still the same renting rights as though she had rented from any other apartment complex.  It is common for landlord to create agreements that require their tenants to take full responsibility for the property while it is being rented.  However, this portion of the contract can be non-enforceable.  I don’t think there is a court that would require your daughter to pay for wiring or plumbing issues.

They say hindsight is 20/20…  True with this situation too.  Any renters reading this post NEVER agree to terms that would hold you responsible for anything major repairs.  Yes, renter’s can dispute rental contracts prior to signing them.  Some landlords may not agree to the exclusion or change, many will.

I forgot to mention that IF the trailer has any major health violations or code issues, then it could be easy for your daughter to have the landlord cover those items.  Landlords are responsible to provide a safe living environment so, if they aren’t then they need to.
