Fla. Stat. § 723.001 et seq. § 723.042
Provision of improvements.
Operative Text
A person may not be required by a mobile home park owner or developer, as a condition of residence in the mobile home park, to provide any improvement unless the requirement is disclosed pursuant to s. 723.012(7) prior to occupancy in the mobile home park.
Florida Statute § 723.042 limits the circumstances under which a mobile home park owner or developer can require a resident to install or provide improvements to the property. Specifically, such a requirement is only permissible if it was disclosed to the prospective resident before they moved into the park, in accordance with the disclosure rules set out in § 723.012(7). If no such pre-occupancy disclosure was made, the requirement cannot be enforced.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Fla. Stat. § 723.042, operators of mobile home parks who intend to require residents to provide any improvements must ensure that requirement is clearly disclosed before the prospective resident takes occupancy, following the procedures outlined in § 723.012(7). Compliant park operators typically include all improvement obligations in their pre-occupancy disclosure documents and obtain acknowledgment from incoming residents. Failing to make this disclosure before occupancy generally means the improvement requirement cannot be imposed on that resident.

Fla. Stat. § 723.042 gives mobile home park residents a protection against being required to provide improvements that were never disclosed before they moved in. If a park owner or developer attempts to impose such a requirement without having made the proper pre-occupancy disclosure under § 723.012(7), residents may have grounds to challenge that requirement. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Florida mobile home park law, as well as the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services which oversees mobile home park disputes, can be resources for understanding available options.
