What are my rights if I’ve been in a month-to-month lease for 3 years and out of the blue I was given a notice by the landlord that I have 30 days to leave?

They say it’s not because of non-payments or complaints; they just want there mobile home back. I asked if they had any other mobile homes and I was told no that they wanted us off the property. Can they do this without any reason?

By definition, a month-to-month lease means that the landlord can terminate your tenancy on 30 days notice, just as it would let you terminate the tenancy without penalty on 30 days notice. If the landlord has given you 30 days notice, the landlord seems to have acted properly.
