It became difficult for the Summerses to pay rent, but they did not sign emergency rent stabilization papers from 2007 to 2011 because they did not want to give up the right to go to court. However, in 2013 they signed an emergency rent stabilization agreement because they were having a financially "struggling year." After falling behind on their rent, they tried to make a late payment to come current, but the park wouldn't accept their check, even with a late fee added to the payment. Instead, the park made them agree to a catch-up plan that involved paying two months' rent for 10 months and signing a release. They thought they had to sign the park's settlement and release agreement or they would have to move out. They signed a new five-year lease in 2016 in addition to an arbitration agreement and right of first refusal agreement because they could not afford to move and knew they could not sell their mobilehome. They thought they were required to sign all of the documents. Their starting rent at the park was $ 1,065 per month and their rent at the time of trial was $ 1,811.48.
