Any person who pays anything of value toward the purchase of a mobile home or placement of a mobile home in a mobile home park located in this state in reasonable reliance upon any material statement or information that is false or misleading and published by or under authority from the park owner or developer in advertising and promotional materials, including, but not limited to, a prospectus, the items required as exhibits to a prospectus, brochures, and newspaper advertising, shall have a cause of action to rescind the contract or collect damages from the developer, park owner, or mobile home dealer for her or his loss.

Plain English

Florida Statute § 723.017 establishes that when a person spends money to purchase a mobile home or secure placement in a mobile home park based on false or misleading material statements published by or on behalf of a park owner or developer — whether in a prospectus, brochures, newspaper ads, or similar promotional materials — that person has a legal cause of action. The remedy available is either rescission of the contract (unwinding the deal) or monetary damages for the loss suffered. The provision covers a broad range of published materials, including required prospectus exhibits and other advertising.

For Property Managers

Under Fla. Stat. § 723.017, park owners and developers bear legal responsibility for the accuracy of all advertising and promotional content they publish or authorize, including prospectuses, brochures, and newspaper advertisements. Operators who maintain rigorous review processes for marketing materials — ensuring that all statements about the park, its amenities, fees, and rules are accurate and not misleading — are generally better positioned to avoid rescission claims or damage actions. Keeping records of approved materials and the review process can support a showing that published content was vetted for accuracy.

General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.

For Tenants

Fla. Stat. § 723.017 gives mobile home purchasers and park residents a legal cause of action if they paid money in reasonable reliance on false or misleading material statements published by or on behalf of a park owner or developer. If a buyer or prospective resident believes they were misled by advertising, a prospectus, brochures, or similar promotional materials, this provision allows them to seek either rescission of their contract or compensation for their financial loss. Tenants and buyers who believe this provision applies to their situation may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid service to understand the options available under § 723.017.
