Operative Text
(1) The action for termination shall be commenced in the manner described in section 13-40-110, C.R.S. The property description shall be deemed legally sufficient and within the meaning of section 13-40-110, C.R.S., if it states: (a) The name of the landlord or the mobile home park; (b) The mailing address of the property; (c) The location or space number upon which the mobile home is situate; and (d) The county in which the mobile home is situate. (2) Service of summons shall be as specified in section 13-40-112, C.R.S.

(4) After commencement of the action and before judgment, any person not already a party to the action who is discovered to have a property interest in the mobile home shall be allowed to enter into a stipulation with the landlord and be bound thereby. (5) The provisions of section 13-40-110.5 concerning suppression of court records apply to an action for termination.
Colorado Revised Statute § 38-12-202.5 establishes the procedural framework for a landlord to bring a legal action to terminate a mobile home park tenancy. It specifies what information must appear in the property description, how the summons may be served (including by posting it on the main entrance of the mobile home), and which courts have jurisdiction. The statute also allows third parties with a property interest in the mobile home to join the case by stipulation before a judgment is entered, and it applies court-record suppression rules from § 13-40-110.5 to these proceedings.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home parks in Colorado who pursue a termination action under § 38-12-202.5 generally ensure their filings include the park name or landlord name, the property's mailing address, the specific space or lot number, and the county — all of which satisfy the statutory property-description requirement. Compliant operators also follow the summons-service rules referenced in § 13-40-112, which permit affixing the summons to the main entrance of the mobile home when other service methods are unavailable. Landlords are also aware that trial on the issue of possession must proceed without delay for unrelated claims, which may be severed by the court.
