Cal. Civ. Code § 38-12-202
Tenancy - notice to terminate tenancy.
Operative Text
(1) (a) Tenancy or other lease or rental occupancy of space in a mobile home park may not commence without a written lease or rental agreement, and tenancy in a mobile home park shall not be terminated until a notice to terminate tenancy or notice of nonpayment of rent has been served. A notice to terminate tenancy must be in writing and include a description of the property. The property description is legally sufficient if it states: (I) The name of the landlord or the mobile home park; (II) The mailing address of the property; (III) The location or space number upon which the mobile home is situate; and (IV) The county in which the mobile home is situate. (b) Service of the notice to terminate tenancy must be as specified in section 13-40-108. Service by posting is deemed legally sufficient within the meaning of section 13-40-108 if the notice is affixed to the main entrance of the mobile home. (c) (I) Except as otherwise provided in section 38-12-204 (1) or subsections (1)(c)(II) and (3) of this section, the management shall give a home owner at least ninety days after the date the notice is served or posted to sell the mobile home or remove it from the premises. (II) If management terminates a tenancy on grounds described in section 38-12-203 (1)(f), the management shall give the home owner at least ten days after the date the notice is served or posted to sell the mobile home or remove it from the premises. (2) Repealed. (3) In any notice provided by the management as required by this section, the management shall specify the reason for the termination, as described in section 38-12-203, of the tenancy that is the subject of the notice. If the management is terminating the tenancy because the mobile home or mobile home lot is out of compliance with local ordinances or state laws or rules relating to mobile homes and mobile home lots, as described in section 38-12-203 (1)(a), or out of compliance with written rules and regulations of the mobile home park, as described in section 38-12-203 (1)(c), the notice must include a statement advising the home owner that the home owner has a right to cure the noncompliance within ninety days after the date of service or posting of the notice to terminate tenancy. This ninety-day period runs concurrently with the ninety-day period to sell the mobile home or remove it from the premises as set forth in subsection (1)(c)(I) of this section. Rent payment and other agreed tenant obligations remain in effect during this ninety-day period, and acceptance of rent by a landlord during this ninety-day period does not constitute a waiver of the landlord's right to terminate the tenancy for any noncompliance described in section 38-12-203 (1)(a) or (1)(c). (4) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, in any action to terminate a home owner's tenancy based on a violation described in section 38-12-203 (1)(a), the periods of time set forth in this section to provide home owners notice or a right to cure are superseded by any local ordinances, state laws or rules, or court orders that require a home owner's compliance within a shorter time period.
Colorado Revised Statute § 38-12-202 establishes the procedural requirements for starting and ending a tenancy in a mobile home park. A tenancy cannot begin without a written lease, and it cannot be ended without a properly served written notice that identifies the park, mailing address, space number, and county. In most cases, the notice must give the home owner at least 90 days to sell or remove the mobile home, though a shorter 10-day period applies in certain situations, and the notice must state the specific reason for termination. When the grounds involve a correctable violation of local ordinances, state law, or park rules, the notice must also inform the home owner of their right to cure the problem within that same 90-day window.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Colo. Rev. Stat. § 38-12-202, compliant mobile home park operators ensure that every new tenancy begins with a signed written lease and that any termination notice is in writing, served according to the procedures in § 13-40-108, and contains all required property identifiers. Operators generally provide at least 90 days' notice before requiring a home owner to sell or remove a mobile home, or at least 10 days when the termination is based on the specific grounds listed in § 38-12-203(1)(f). When terminating for correctable violations under § 38-12-203(1)(a) or (1)(c), the notice should explicitly advise the home owner of the right to cure within 90 days, and operators should be aware that accepting rent during that period does not waive the right to pursue termination for the underlying noncompliance.

Colo. Rev. Stat. § 38-12-202 provides mobile home park residents with important procedural protections before a tenancy can be ended. A home owner generally has at least 90 days after a valid termination notice is served to sell or remove the mobile home, and when the notice is based on a correctable violation of ordinances, state law, or park rules, the home owner also has the right to fix the problem within that same 90-day period. Tenants who believe a notice is defective—for example, because it lacks required identifying information, was not properly served, or omits the reason for termination—may be able to raise those deficiencies as a defense in any eviction proceeding, and consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with Colorado mobile home park law can help clarify available options.
