Legal Question in Business Law in California

I recently paid for a six days rental space for my family and RV. After three days and nights of steady rain, water began to leak in and I had to cut my trip short and find an RV repair facility.

The RV Park manager said he would not return any monies for the remaining three days that I would not be there. I checked out at 8:00 a.m. and would have understood a "24 hour" cancellation policy, but three days seems outrageous!! Incidentally, the RV Park was completely full and I'm sure they rented the spot out immediately.

Is there a law covering this situation? This policy is posted on their web site - it seems to me this policy would prohibit cancellation at ANY TIME once you have taken occupancy??

"Cancellation Policy:

� Daily/Weekly-Cancel 3 days prior to reservation for full refund, less than 3 days, no refund"

You could file a small claims action for the refund and let a judge decide what is 'fair'.
