Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Selling a mobile home

My friend has a mobile home that he owns he is 81 Years old. Due to his age and health he has giving me full power of attorney to handle this for him. Every time we have someone to buy this mobile home the owner of the park denies them with a credit check. The current guy that wants to buy it I know has perfict credit and she has not even checked him out the only reason she will give me is that she does not him to own it. I have told her that starting next month the mobile home will be in my name so that i will be making the space rent payment she told me that she will not allow me to make the payment. she has stated the she reather wait for my friend to die and put a lien on the mobile home rather than himself nor myself be able to sell it. I would like to know what right does this lady have to do this she ownes the land not the property.

Re: Selling a mobile home

Contact an attorney with experience in this area of the law. A mobile home park owner has some right to reject a propective buyer. However, any rejection of a potential buyer must be made in good faith. That is poor credit, a reputation of trouble maker, etc. The improper rejection of the buyer without good cause is actionable and may result in damages.
