Re: eviction

The Civil Code (section 799 et seq) governs RV Parks. Generally, you are required to have some sort of rental agreement for the space, or at least a registration card with the terms of your occupancy on it. Unless you have a long-term written lease, you are generally deemed to be renting the space on the same terms as when you first moved in. Many RV park registration cards or rental agreements provide that you are renting on a weekly basis. That would be the equivalent of a "week to week" rental (you've heard of month-to-month rentals in residential real estate). As such, the landlord only has to give you notice that is as long as the "term" of your lease, or in the case of a week-to-week rental, you are only required to be given a week's notice to vacate the space. No reason needs to be given. Now, if you pay your rent a month-at-a-time, or are billed by the park as such, you might be able to argue that you are a month-to-month tenant, and as such, 30 days notice must be given, but sadly you will have to be sued by the park first, and go plead your case in court. Also, the threatening part you mentioned, if its personally threatening, might be the basis for a claim of retaliatory eviction, but you'll need to review that with a local attorney.
