Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

right to refuse a sex offender access to property

Does management of an RV and Mobile Park have the right to demand we allow our neighbor, who is a convicted child molestor and on the Megan's law website, access to our property where our grandson is often present? We are in the process of buying the mobile that we have been renting for the last couple of years from its owner. The management of the park is wanting us to first sign an agreement to allow this neighbor access to our patio so he can tend his plants which are actually planted in the 3' space that is supposed to be clearance. Can they do this legally? Is this a situation in which we should retain an attorney?

Re: right to refuse a sex offender access to property

If the area is not supposed to have plants, then management can not violate that restriction, and there would be no need for any watering to be done. In buying the space you are also buying the right to enjoy the property free of anyone coming onto it that you do not want there. Also, I do not understand why the neighbor can not find some way to have access to his own property. Worse case situation, you agree to do the watering [I know you do not want to help the neighbor but it might end being a better compromise than a management that might try to kick you out].

Good luck.
