Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

Mobile Home lease impropriety

I have a mobile home with a long term lease. I am in the process of selling it. The park (and it's management) have determined the buyers rent (they are allowed to increase it) wrongly. The terms of the lease that concern selling the house states that a comparable rent (not the current rent) can not be exceeded. I have demanded a history of the rent increases and the comparable rent determination but the park (and it's management) have not released this information. I am unable to sell my house because the rent they are quotting is very high. I also believe they have not increased my rent in accordance with the lease terms. A lawyer I contacted wants $125 for an initial consultation. I would like to know if there is anything I can do short of hiring a lawyer to force them to provide this information. Also, do I have any standing if they have improperly raised my rent. I have been paying my rent and am worried that that might serve as a basis for saying I agree to the rent increases. Thank you for your time on this matter.

While you are entitled to the information, you will not get it without legal help. You can try the local rent control board if there is one or try one of the local tenants advocacy legal rights groups in your area.
