Is mandatory cable TV payments legal?

My friend lives in a MHPark that charges more than the cable company does for basic service. It is CA, but I have never heard of a "luxury item" being imposed on a renter. Is it legal? There are many people there on low and fixed incomes, so money matters. Since the corporation that owns the park has deep pockets, would they stand a chance in court, since the manager says pay, move or sue. They own their own mobilehomes, but pay space rent, so "moving" is troublesome.

Update:

I don't understand it but they don't really have leases now?

Leases were signed when they moved in 5 years ago, but each year they just get an updated copy of the Mobilehome Residency Law. In the second year there was a new lease offered for acceptance but nothing like that since.

I couldn't find anything in the MH Residency Law that applied to this situation.

Update 2:

Could it be considered gouging if they charge more than the regular rate the cable company does?

    In a privately owned 'mobile home park', the owner can charge whatever he chooses for such amenties. Such is the basis of the agreement to rent the space for the mobile home. If you do not like the charges, your options are only to move out.

    your friend should read through the lease of the property very carefully, and if it is not in the lease, he/she should go to the management and demand to have him show your friend where on the lease it says they have to pey for it. and if the manager cannot, then they should ask to see the document that was signed saying that they would pay for it. if nothing can be produced, then your friend has a case for sure.

    Sounds like a scam to me. There might be some illegal fine print in the lease agreement that requires the payments though. I would ask a lawyer.
