Questions about my lease
Sure, ****. I'm here to help. Could you please tell me the specific issue you're facing with your lease and your location?
I currently live in a trailer court. I own the trailer but rent the lot. The electric is having issues from the meter to my house. It is buried underground and the lease says that “the owner is not responsible for issues with the transport system” before I go to management, I want to know if they are responsible for repairs or if I am since it’s underground on their property and it’s from meter to house which would be the transport system, correct?
Sure, ****. To clarify, could you please tell me where the trailer court is located? The laws regarding responsibility for repairs in a mobile home park can vary by location.
I can’t read the bottom half of what you wrote. The message bar is in the way.
Apologies for the inconvenience, ****. Now, to answer your question, the responsibility for the repairs can depend on the specific local regulations. Could you please tell me in which state or city your trailer court is located?
