Please keep in mind that the law of your State may be different, and you should always consult an attorney regarding any specific legal situation. Not necessarily, unless the term is for longer than three years. Of course, every lease should be in writing. Manufactured home parks are required to initially offer tenants a written lease. At times the landlord may enter into the tenant's premises, with reasonable notice, to inspect the premises, make ordinary, necessary, or agreed repairs, and for certain other purposes.
Reasonable notice is presumed to be twenty-four hours, except in the case of an emergency.
A landlord must return the security deposit, less a reasonable deduction for damages done by the tenant. The landlord must mail this amount to the tenant within thirty days of the end of the lease. The tenant, however, has certain duties as well. The tenant must provide the landlord with a forwarding address. In addition, the tenant has the burden of proving several elements in order to recover damages in a lawsuit.
