Under Oklahoma law, if you've bought a mobile home, you have the right to rent a lot. However, the landlord has the right to approve or disapprove the rental based on:
- Your ability to comply with the park's rules
- Your credit history
If the landlord is refusing rent without valid reason, you may be able to take legal action.
The previous owner of the house has tried to pay it but they won’t accept it from him either
I see. It appears there's refusal of payment from both you and the previous owner. Are there any outstanding issues or violations concerning the property that could be causing this refusal?
None that we are aware of.
It seems unusual for the landlord to refuse payment without reason. Oklahoma law requires landlords to provide a valid reason for refusal. You may want to consider seeking legal counsel to understand your options.
They told me to sell the house or move it. I have it sold and they are tell the people that want to buy it they have to wait until the eviction is complete
In Oklahoma, the landlord must provide a valid reason for eviction. If not:
- You may file a lawsuit for wrongful eviction.
- The buyer can also potentially sue for interference with a contract.
I recommend consulting a local attorney for precise advice.
They said it’s because the previous owner didn’t have permission to sell the house which he owned free and clear
Under Oklahoma law, if the previous owner had clear title to the mobile home, he generally has the right to sell it. If the landlord interfered without valid reason, you and the previous owner might have legal recourse. I'd advise consulting a local attorney.
