Owner requesting utility copies

Owner requesting utility copies
July 10, 2010 07:23AM
Have static on holiday park. With permission from owner,(owner won't let us receive mail - he returns to sender), to receive urgent meds that I had left in USA, Fed-Ex duly arrived with parcel, receptionist rang owner to ask if it was OK for her to sign for it: he said no. When I asked why I hadn't been called to come collect it he said "I sent someone down, you weren't there". When I arranged to meet Fed-Ex guy to sign for it a few days later, he said the receptionist made the call and told him she wasn't allowed to sign. The driver nor anybody was sent to me.
I have now received a letter from owner, with copies of Fed-Ex delivery documents, asking for utility bills as proof that I am not using my static for residential purposes.
I have had my static here for 3 years.
For personal reasons I sold my house last May and moved in with my daughter: bought this static and another one 4 hrs drive away to use as a base when visiting my sick Daughter. I also have a 'Granny apartment' with my family in USA.
So, although I finance the utility accounts where I live, my name is not on them.

In the last year I have been here, approx 20 weeks.

Can anyone advise me as to where I stand?

Under what authority can they ask for your utility bills? That seems a bit out of the box... For what it is worth, I would probably not want the liability of my manager accepting delivery's for someone in the park. with my luck, it would be something really valuable and the manager would crush it... You might develop a relationship with a mail boxes etc... or the like in the area for package delivery. You can also have packages held for pick up at any UPS or Fed Ex Point.

So to your point... what is the harm of showing them a cell phone bill or something from your daughters house.. many people have no utility bills... like MHP residents with no phones and all park paid utilities... or, master metered utilities...
