Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Washington
I have lived in a this mobile home park for 15 years. A new company has purchased our mobile home park. They are trying to charge me $30.00 a month for having 3 vehicles. I have 2 cars and 1 van that I use to keep my drums in. I have ample parking at my trailer and I am not taking up any extra parking spaces to keep my van parked at my home. I leave my drums in my van when I am not working with the band and drive it only when I play. I can not park it anywhere else as theft is a problem where I live. I have never been charged for any vehicles before. Would the grandfather clause help me in this case?

There is no grandfather clause, unless it is written into the lease or rental agreement. Did the new management company give you a new rental agreement/lease that limits the number of vehicles or set a monthly parking fee? Or did the old agreement have a fee, but nobody bothered to collect it?
