What needs to happen to get out of the lease?

[rogadunn]

My brother is facing an issue. A mobile home was verbally given to him but the title to the mobile home was never signed over to him. He signed a lease at the mobile home park in Indiana in November of 2004. The lease he signed was to pay the lot rent on the site where the mobile home is located. The mobile home park did not question if he owned the mobile home and did not ask him for a title. Yet the mobile home park still allowed him to sign a lease. He lived in the mobile home park until recently and has continued to pay the lot rent. The lease he signed was for one year and he never signed another lease.
The questions I have are:
1) What does he need to do to break from his lease? He needs specific steps that will let him not have to deal with the mobile home park again.
2) After he stops his lease will the mobile home park have any legal right to take action on him if the mobile home needs to be removed? For instance will he be liable to pay any more lot rent or be responsible for paying to have the mobile home removed. Remember the title to the mobile home was never signed over to his name. In fact the people who hold the title refused to sign the title to him as they said he owed them money for another different reason.

Normally wheh you do not sign a new lease it goes into a periodic lease based on how often you pay rent, usually monthly. Based on that he needs to give written notice one month in advance. He will have no liability to the park for the mobile home since it is not his.
