Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania

We started camping at a campsite june 6th and there was no contract signed everything was just verbal agreement. We paid the owner 200 dollars up front and he told us that would take us til july and then we could talk about seasonal rates. We decided in this time that we didnt want to camp there. My husband went yesterday to pick our camper up and the owner wouldn't let him take it and he is saying we owe him like 700 dollars. Can he get away with that? We were under the understanding it was 900 for seasonal, but we didn't start camping til half way through the season. We also never told him for sure which route we wanted to take he just assumed that was the one. I'm confused about all of this because we were under the understanding it was 100 bucks a month and now he's saying he changed his rates and he never even told us. What can i do?

The verbal agreement is the contract. Assuming you have a witness beyond the owner and your husband as to what the terms of the contract then you may have a a better case than not having such a witness.

This is a matter you would take to the Magisterial District Justice.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.
