Countryside Title 3 Ch. 8 Mobile Home Parks (Landlord and Tenant Regulations) § 3-8-16-7
RULES AND REGULATIONS OF PARK
Operative Text
Rules and regulations promulgated and adopted by the park owner are enforceable against a tenant only if: A. A copy of all rules and regulations was delivered by the park owner to the tenant prior to his signing the lease. B. The purpose of such rules and regulations is to promote the convenience, safety and welfare of the tenants, preserve park property from damage or to fairly distribute park services and facilities to the tenants. C. They are reasonably related to the purpose for which adopted. D. They apply to all tenants in a fair manner. E. They are sufficiently explicit in prohibition, direction or limitation of the tenant's conduct to fairly inform him of what he must or must not do to comply. F. They are not for the purpose of evading the obligation of the park owners. A rule or regulation adopted during the term of a lease is enforceable against the tenant only if thirty (30) days' written notice of its adoption is given the tenant and such rule or regulation is not in violation of the terms and conditions of the lease. (1970 Code § 8-38.52)
Under Countryside Title 3 Ch. 8 Mobile Home Parks § 3-8-16-7, park rules and regulations can only be enforced against a tenant if they meet a specific set of conditions: the tenant must have received a copy before signing the lease, the rules must serve legitimate purposes such as safety or fair distribution of services, they must apply equally to all tenants, and they must be clear enough to inform tenants of what is required. Rules adopted after a lease is signed carry an additional requirement — the tenant must receive at least 30 days' written notice, and the new rule cannot contradict the existing lease terms. Rules that fail to meet any of these conditions are not enforceable against tenants.

Park owners and managers operating under Countryside Title 3 Ch. 8 Mobile Home Parks § 3-8-16-7 generally ensure that all rules and regulations are compiled, clearly written, and delivered to prospective tenants before any lease is signed. Compliant operators draft rules that serve recognized purposes — such as safety, property preservation, or equitable access to shared facilities — and apply those rules uniformly across all tenants. When new rules are introduced mid-lease, operators typically provide written notice at least 30 days in advance and confirm that the new rule does not conflict with existing lease terms.

Section § 3-8-16-7 of Countryside's Mobile Home Park regulations establishes that a park rule is only enforceable against you if it was provided before you signed your lease, serves a legitimate purpose, applies fairly to all tenants, and is written clearly enough to inform you of what is expected. If a rule was introduced after your lease began without 30 days' written notice, or if it conflicts with your lease terms, it may not be enforceable under this provision. Tenants who believe a rule fails to meet these standards may raise the issue as a defense in any enforcement proceeding, or seek guidance from a local tenant-rights organization familiar with Countryside's mobile home park regulations.
