Unlawful Occupants


Buyers must execute a space rental agreement with park managers. Escrow, sale or transfer agreements must contain copies of fully executed rental agreements or statements signed by park manager that buyers have agreed to rental terms.

If home owners have no rights of tenancy, they may be unlawful occupants. Management might demand that unlawful occupants surrender lease spaces within five days. Home owners do not qualify as unlawful occupants if:
  • They own the manufactured home;
  • The park manager determined that the occupant has the financial ability to pay the rent and charges of the park and will comply with the rules and regulations; and
  • The manager failed or refused to offer the buyer a rental agreement.
Buyers cannot waive Residency Law rights in space rental agreements and home sale agreements.
