My elderly mom owns a prefab house on a rental plot in Tucson, AZ (Mission View Properties). It's a place full of snowbirds. My folks rented the plot a number of years ago and pay monthly rent and utilities.
My mom got a call from the water company a few weeks ago and they said she must have a big leak because her use was off the chart. She called the trailer park management, but the office was closed, so she called a plumber herself. The plumber found two leaks--one at the main coming into the trailer (but outside the trailer) and under the driveway. The bill was $3K.
Mom sent me her very basic rental agreement and responsibility for plumbing repairs outside the trailer is unclear, not directly addressed. The manager says it has not happened before and is sending the owner over to discuss with my mom.
My basic question, does anyone know who's responsible for paying for the repair outside of the unit--my mom or the owner of the lot. My mom does not own the land, just the prefab. The repairs were outside the unit, but on the lot she rents.
Thanks!
