Answer: First off, every "reasonable accommodation" case is different, so I strongly recommend that you consult an attorney on your particular case.
As a general matter, HUD has said that landlords must allow emotional support animals if (1) the tenant has a disability, and (2) the tenant documents that an assistance animal is necessary to help alleviate the disability.

Answer: Under Oregon law, the property of deceased tenants is considered "abandoned" and must be treated as such. The park must issue an abandoned property notice as required by ORS 90.425.

The short answer to your first question is "no," you do not have to give the long-time tenant the same 30-day notice as required for mobile home tenants. That notice under ORS 90.632 is only for mobile home tenants, not RVs. Since RVs are not "manufactured dwellings," you have some better options available.
