Countryside Title 3 Ch. 8 Mobile Home Parks § 3-8-16-3 establishes the foundational definitions that govern the mobile home park landlord-tenant regulations in Countryside. A 'Park Owner' is defined broadly to include not just the titleholder of the park but also anyone who manages the property or collects rent without passing all proceeds to someone else. A 'Tenant' covers anyone who occupies a mobile home rental unit or parks a mobile home on a lot in exchange for agreed-upon consideration, while 'Person' encompasses a wide range of legal entities beyond just individuals.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Countryside Title 3 Ch. 8 § 3-8-16-3, the definition of 'Park Owner' is intentionally broad, meaning that property managers, agents, and others who collect rent or exercise management authority may be treated as park owners for regulatory purposes. Operators who delegate management responsibilities should be aware that those delegates may independently carry obligations under this chapter. Compliant park operators generally ensure that anyone acting on their behalf understands the scope of duties and responsibilities that attach to the 'Park Owner' designation.

Countryside Title 3 Ch. 8 § 3-8-16-3 defines 'Tenant' to include both occupants of mobile home rental units and individuals who park a mobile home on a lot for agreed-upon consideration, which means a broad range of living arrangements may qualify for protections under this chapter. Because 'Park Owner' is also defined broadly, tenants may have recourse against managers or rent collectors—not just the titled property owner—if a violation occurs. Tenants who believe their rights under this chapter have been violated may consider consulting a tenant-rights organization or reviewing the full ordinance to understand available enforcement paths.
