APPLICABILITY
Operative Text
This Section 3-8-16 shall regulate and determine legal rights, remedies and obligations of the parties to any lease of a mobile home or mobile home lot in a mobile home park containing five (5) or more mobile homes within the City. Any lease, written or oral, shall be unenforceable insofar as any provision thereof conflicts with any provision of this Section. (1970 Code § 8-38.39)
Countryside Title 3 Ch. 8 Mobile Home Parks § 3-8-16-1 establishes that the rules in Section 3-8-16 govern the legal rights, remedies, and obligations of both landlords and tenants in any mobile home park lease involving five or more mobile homes within the City. The provision applies to both written and oral leases. Any lease term that conflicts with Section 3-8-16 is rendered unenforceable to the extent of that conflict.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Countryside Title 3 Ch. 8 § 3-8-16-1, operators of mobile home parks with five or more homes in the City are subject to the full framework of Section 3-8-16 regardless of what their lease documents say. Compliant operators generally review their lease agreements — whether written or oral — to ensure no terms contradict the requirements set out in Section 3-8-16. Any conflicting lease provision is void to that extent, so operators typically align their lease terms with the ordinance rather than relying on conflicting contractual language.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 3-8-16-1 of the Countryside Mobile Home Parks ordinance means that tenants in parks with five or more homes are protected by the rights and remedies established in Section 3-8-16, even if a lease — written or oral — attempts to waive or limit those protections. Because conflicting lease terms are unenforceable, tenants may be able to raise a violation of this provision as a defense if a landlord attempts to enforce a conflicting lease clause. Tenants who believe their lease contains terms that conflict with Section 3-8-16 may wish to consult a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid office for general information about their options.
