Countryside Title 3 Ch. 8 Mobile Home Parks (Landlord and Tenant Regulations) § 3-8-16-14
TERMINATION OF LEASE
Operative Text
If a tenant shall remain in possession of the premises after the expiration of his lease without having notified the park owner of his acceptance or rejection of a renewal of the lease and without the park owner's consent, the tenant shall pay to the park owner a sum, not to exceed twice the monthly rental under the previous lease, computed and prorated daily for each day he shall remain in possession. (1970 Code § 8-38.61)
Under Countryside Title 3 Ch. 8 Mobile Home Parks § 3-8-16-14, when a mobile home park tenant stays on the premises after their lease expires without telling the park owner whether they accept or reject a renewal—and without the owner's consent to remain—the tenant becomes liable for a daily holdover charge. That charge can be as high as twice the prior monthly rent, prorated on a per-day basis for every day the unauthorized occupancy continues. The rule creates a financial consequence designed to discourage silent holdovers while giving the calculation a clear ceiling.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 3-8-16-14, compliant park operators generally document the lease expiration date and communicate renewal terms to residents in advance, so there is a clear record of whether a tenant accepted or rejected renewal. If a resident remains without responding and without the owner's consent, operators typically track each day of holdover occupancy to support a prorated daily charge calculated against the prior monthly rent. Maintaining written records of lease terms, renewal offers, and any consent given helps establish the factual basis for any holdover amount claimed under this provision.

Section 3-8-16-14 sets a ceiling on what a park owner may charge a holdover tenant—no more than twice the prior monthly rent, prorated daily—which means any demand above that ceiling may not be authorized by this provision. Tenants who receive a holdover charge can review whether the owner's calculation stays within the limits the provision establishes, and whether proper notice or consent was or was not given. Tenant-rights organizations or a local housing authority can help residents of Countryside mobile home parks understand how this provision applies to their circumstances.
