Alaska Stat. § 34.03. § 34.03.225
Limitations on mobile home park operator's right to terminate
Operative Text
(a) A mobile home park operator may evict a mobile home or a mobile home park dweller or tenant only for one of the following reasons: (1) the mobile home dweller or tenant has defaulted in the payment of rent owed; (2) the mobile home dweller or tenant has been convicted of violating a federal or state law or local ordinance, and that violation is continuing and is detrimental to the health, safety, or welfare of other dwellers or tenants in the mobile home park; (3) the mobile home dweller or tenant has violated a provision, enforceable under AS 34.03.130, of the rental agreement or lease signed by both parties and not prohibited by law including rent and the terms of agreement; and (4) a change in the use of the land comprising the mobile home park, or the portion of it on which the mobile home to be evicted is located; however, all dwellers or tenants so affected by a change in land use shall be given at least 270 days' notice, or longer if a longer notice period is provided in a valid lease or required by a municipality; a dweller or tenant so affected by a change in land use shall be given a quit date not earlier than May 1 and not later than October 15; a municipality may establish a mobile home relocation fund and require that a dweller or tenant so affected by a change in land use be given a longer notice period or compensated from the fund for the cost of disconnecting, relocating, and reestablishing the dweller's or tenant's mobile home. (b) A mobile home park operator may not evict a mobile home or a mobile home park dweller or tenant because of the age of the mobile home, except that a mobile home or a mobile home park dweller or tenant may be evicted if, when the mobile home was admitted to the mobile home park, a regulation of the mobile home park limiting the age of a mobile home in the mobile home park was in effect, the mobile home is sold after the age limitation has been exceeded, and the owner or tenant of the mobile home has failed to bring the unit into compliance with the life safety requirements of 24 C.F.R. Part 3280. This does not prohibit eviction for violation of a provision enforceable under AS 34.03.130 that requires that a mobile home be in a fit and habitable condition. (c) When, under (a) of this section, a mobile home park owner is required to give notice to evict a mobile home owner or a mobile home park dweller or tenant, provision of notice to quit under AS 09.45.100 — 09.45.105 satisfies the requirement of notice.
Alaska Statute AS 34.03.225 limits the circumstances under which a mobile home park operator may evict a resident or their home to four specific grounds: nonpayment of rent, a continuing criminal violation that harms other residents, a breach of an enforceable lease provision, or a change in the land use of the park. When a land-use change triggers eviction, residents must receive at least 270 days' notice, and their required move-out date must fall between May 1 and October 15. Eviction based solely on the age of a mobile home is generally prohibited, with a narrow exception tied to pre-existing park age regulations, a subsequent sale, and failure to meet federal life-safety standards under 24 C.F.R. Part 3280.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under AS 34.03.225, compliant mobile home park operators document their eviction grounds carefully, limiting termination actions to the four enumerated bases: rent default, qualifying criminal violations, enforceable lease breaches, or land-use changes. Operators initiating a land-use-change eviction provide written notice at least 270 days in advance and schedule quit dates within the May 1–October 15 window, or longer if a valid lease or local municipality requires it. Operators also avoid initiating eviction proceedings based solely on a home's age unless the narrow statutory exception—covering pre-existing age regulations, a post-limit sale, and unresolved federal life-safety deficiencies—clearly applies.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
AS 34.03.225 gives mobile home park residents significant protection against eviction by restricting operators to only four lawful grounds, meaning a notice that falls outside those grounds may be challengeable. Residents facing a land-use-change eviction are entitled to at least 270 days' notice and a quit date no earlier than May 1 and no later than October 15, and some municipalities may provide additional notice time or relocation assistance through a mobile home relocation fund. Tenants who believe an eviction notice does not meet these requirements may consider raising the statutory violation as a defense in any eviction proceeding, filing a complaint with a local housing authority, or reaching out to a tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
