Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in California

My grandmother lives in a mobile home park, where she purchased the mobile but rents the lot on which it sits. The park is attempting to have her pay for a new retaining wall on the lot as the existing one is failing. My question is can they make her pay for that since the lot is rented from the park, and is their property.
I went over the rental agreement and the California Civil Code Provisions; Mobile Home Residency Law with a fine toothed comb and nothing "seems" to point to that being her responsibility. The only code that may is code 798.37 which reads:
"798.37. A homeowner may not be charged a fee for the entry, installation, hookup, or landscaping as a condition of tenancy except for an actual fee or cost imposed by a local governmental ordinance or requirement directly related to the occupancy of the specific site upon which the mobile home is located and not incurred as a portion of the development of the mobile home park as a whole."
To which I assume that this retaining wall should be the responsibility of the park as it seems to fall under the "development of the mobile home park as a whole"
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
