California State law stating rent needs to be paid for by a tennant?
Our Mobile home park manager returned our rent check stating it needs to be paid by the tennant (which is my mother-in-law) What CA state law says that the rent needs to be paid for by the tennant rather than by a resident?
Answer:
There is no State law that requires the rent to be paid by the tenant.
As long as the rent is paid, there should not be a problem.
Just be sure to note on the check that it is for "rent for X tenant at X address."
I think your landlord is full of s**t. As long as the rent is being paid, it doesn't matter one teeny tiny little bit who wrote the check. In order to keep things civilized, however, deposit the check into your checking account and then write the a/s/s/h/o/l/e a check in your name. I would also go online and Google: California tenant's rights and see if you can find anything else out about this.
unless for some reason the requirement is within the mobile home park agreement i doubt if what the landlord says is true
Does your mother-in-law actually live there? Sounds like the manager believes you are illegally subletting the space and doesn't want it to look like he is accepting you as a tenant by cashing your check.
