Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

Before i rented my first question was about my dog if they allowed dogs the landlord said my dog was okay. The landlord owns 15-17 trailers here.

about a week later I was told to go see the park manager and give him my name and stuff the manger requested i sign a form stating i received the rules for the park.

at this time is when i see the rule about the dog can only be a small dog. i went and asked the landlord about this. he said it's not a big deal just when the owner of the park comes don't let him see the dog!!!!!!!!!!!

So of course there was a dog hassle when the dog catcher came I was not blamed for anything.

I then received a 30 day notice to get out. (march 22)

And the landlord is insisting I pay all of april rent.

Is this even legal what he�s (landlord) is doing

There are a few crucial facts missing from your post. Does the landlord (from whom you are renting the trailer) also own the land upon which the home is sited? In other words, does the landlord who owns these homes also own the land, or does he own homes in a mobilehome or trailer park that is owned by someone else? The answer to your questions depends on who owns the land. It almost sounds as if you are renting from someone other than who owns the land, in which case, the land owners' rules trump what the landlord told you. If you rented the place month-to-month, then this is all pretty irrelevant because if you are a month-to-month tenant, then your rental of the property can be terminated on 30 days notice without any reason whatsoever.
