Monthly rates at sun community park

We are currently staying at a Sun Community park. They have changed the way you pay your rent from paying your 6 months while you are here to paying 12 payments thru the year. The problem is if you pay money ahead and for some reason you can not come down you will not receive and money back that you have payed without using it for rent.
First of all could this be legal also if anyone on here is staying at a Sun park are they doing the same thing to you?
Thanks for all comments!

I am not an attorney but . . .

Do they have a written contract? What does the contract say? What state are you in? Laws differ by state. If your signed contract uses wording like "non-refundable" or "all sales are final" or "time is of the essence" and there are no higher precedent setting state laws that invalidate portions of the contract or the contract in it's entirety, chances are what they do is perfectly legal and you agreed to the terms of the contract when/if you read/signed/dated it. Sorry if this isn't what you wanted to hear, but, reading/understanding the fine print has residual value.
