For Property Managers

CH. 195 § 195-6 gives the Chicopee Board authority to issue orders governing evictions at mobile home parks, and those orders can directly affect summary process proceedings in court. Operators of mobile home parks generally stay informed of any Board orders in effect before initiating eviction actions, since a valid Board order can be raised as a defense by a tenant. Maintaining awareness of current Board regulations helps ensure that eviction procedures align with local requirements.
