Cal. Civ. Code § 38-12-209
Entry fees prohibited.
Operative Text
(1) The owner of a mobile home park, or the agent of such owner, shall neither pay to nor receive from an owner or a seller of a mobile home an entry fee of any type as a condition of tenancy in a mobile home park. (2) to (4) Repealed. (5) A landlord shall not charge a resident or a home owner any fee, penalty, or any other cost for refusing to sign a new lease or for residing under a month-to-month or other periodic tenancy.
Colorado Revised Statutes § 38-12-209 establishes two related prohibitions in the mobile home park context. First, neither a park owner nor their agent may pay or receive any type of entry fee from a mobile home owner or seller as a condition of living in the park. Second, a landlord may not charge any fee, penalty, or other cost to a resident or homeowner simply because that person declines to sign a new lease or chooses to remain on a month-to-month or other periodic tenancy arrangement.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Colo. Rev. Stat. § 38-12-209, compliant mobile home park operators do not collect or pay entry fees of any kind as a prerequisite for a prospective resident to occupy a space in the park. Additionally, operators do not impose charges, penalties, or any other costs on current residents who decline to execute a new lease and instead continue their tenancy on a month-to-month or periodic basis. Reviewing fee schedules and lease renewal practices against these prohibitions is a standard part of maintaining compliance with Colorado's mobile home park regulations.

Colo. Rev. Stat. § 38-12-209 gives mobile home park residents and homeowners the right to be free from entry fees charged as a condition of tenancy, as well as from any fees or penalties imposed solely because they chose not to sign a new lease or opted to remain on a month-to-month arrangement. If a park owner or agent attempts to collect such charges, a resident may have grounds to raise this statutory violation as a defense in a legal proceeding or to file a complaint with a relevant state or local authority. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Colorado mobile home park law can help residents understand the general options available under this provision.
