Fla. Stat. § 723.001 et seq. § 723.044
Interference with installation of appliances or interior improvements.
Operative Text
A mobile home park owner or developer shall not charge any resident who chooses to install an electric or gas appliance in her or his mobile home an additional fee solely on the basis of such installation or restrict the installation, service, or maintenance of any such appliance or the making of any interior improvement in such mobile home, so long as the installation or improvement is in compliance with applicable building codes and other provisions of law.
Florida Statute § 723.044 limits what mobile home park owners and developers can do when a resident decides to install an electric or gas appliance or make interior improvements to their own home. Specifically, the rule prohibits charging an extra fee just because of such an installation, and it bars restricting the installation, servicing, or maintenance of those appliances or any interior improvement. These protections apply as long as the work complies with applicable building codes and other relevant laws.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Fla. Stat. § 723.044, compliant park operators do not impose surcharges or special fees on residents simply because they have installed an electric or gas appliance in their mobile home. Operators also refrain from placing restrictions on how residents install, service, or maintain such appliances, or on interior improvements generally. Where a park has rules touching on appliances or interior work, those rules are typically grounded in building-code compliance requirements rather than blanket prohibitions or fee assessments.

Fla. Stat. § 723.044 gives mobile home residents the right to install electric or gas appliances and make interior improvements without being charged an extra fee or facing park-imposed restrictions, provided the work meets applicable building codes. If a park owner or developer imposes such a fee or restriction, a resident may have grounds to raise that conduct as a violation of this statute. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Florida mobile home law, as well as the Florida Mobile Home Relocation Corporation's resources, can help residents understand general options for addressing potential violations.
