Cal. Civ. Code § 38-12-205
Termination prohibited.
Operative Text
A tenancy or other estate at will or lease in a mobile home park may not be terminated solely for the purpose of making the home owner's space in the park available for another mobile home or trailer coach.
Under Colo. Rev. Stat. § 38-12-205, a mobile home park operator is prohibited from ending a tenancy, estate at will, or lease simply to free up a home owner's space for a different mobile home or trailer coach. The rule targets pretextual terminations where the real motive is reassigning the space rather than any legitimate ground involving the resident. Any termination that is driven solely by that purpose is not permitted under Colorado law.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Colo. Rev. Stat. § 38-12-205 means that compliant mobile home park operators do not issue termination notices when the underlying reason is simply to place another mobile home or trailer coach in the departing resident's space. Operators generally document legitimate, independent grounds for any termination—such as nonpayment, rule violations, or park closure—so that the record reflects a lawful basis unrelated to space reassignment. Maintaining clear, contemporaneous records of the actual reason for any tenancy action helps demonstrate that a termination was not driven solely by the purpose the statute prohibits.

Colo. Rev. Stat. § 38-12-205 gives mobile home park residents a protection against being pushed out purely so their space can be handed to another mobile home or trailer coach. If a resident believes a termination notice was issued for no reason other than freeing up their space, that statutory prohibition may be raised as a defense in any eviction or unlawful-detainer proceeding. Tenants in this situation may also consider reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization or Colorado legal aid office to understand the options available under this provision.
