(III) 
In the case of an emergency; or

(IV) 
When the mobile home has been abandoned.

(2) 
Unless otherwise prohibited by law, the management has a right of entry to

ensure compliance with applicable codes, statutes, ordinances, and
administrative rules; the rental agreement; and the rules and regulations of
the park. A landlord shall not enter in a manner that interferes with a

of the planned entry and must be delivered in a manner that is reasonably
likely to be seen or heard by the resident in a timely manner.

Plain English

Colorado Revised Statutes § 38-12-222 establishes privacy protections for mobile home owners by limiting when park management may enter a mobile home or its space. Entry into the mobile home itself is generally prohibited without written consent, except in emergencies or when the home has been abandoned. For entry onto the mobile home space, management must provide at least 72 hours' advance notice that includes the date and approximate time of entry, delivered in a way the resident is reasonably likely to receive. A home owner may revoke any previously given written consent at any time.

For Property Managers

Under § 38-12-222, compliant mobile home park operators treat resident privacy as a baseline obligation, not an afterthought. Operators generally document written consent before entering a mobile home, maintain records of notices given for space entry, and ensure those notices are delivered at least 72 hours in advance with the required date and approximate time. Entry onto a mobile home space is limited to purposes such as fulfilling maintenance duties under § 38-12-212.3 or verifying code compliance, and operators take care not to interfere with a resident's peaceful enjoyment of the space except in genuine emergencies.

For Tenants

Section 38-12-222 of the Colorado Revised Statutes gives mobile home owners a meaningful right to privacy: management generally cannot enter your mobile home without your written consent, and you may revoke that consent in writing at any time. For entry onto your mobile home space, management is ordinarily required to give you at least 72 hours' notice that includes the planned date and approximate time, delivered in a way you can reasonably be expected to receive it. If you believe management has entered without proper notice or consent, general enforcement paths include documenting the incident in writing, raising the violation in any related legal proceeding, or contacting a local tenant-rights organization familiar with Colorado mobile home park law.
