Kan. Stat. Ann. § 58-25,114
Rules and regulations of landlord, when enforceable; notice; limitations.
Operative Text
(a) A landlord may adopt rules or regulations, however described, concerning the tenant's use and occupancy of the mobile home park. Such rules or regulations are enforceable against the tenant only if they are written and if: (1) Their purpose is to promote the convenience, safety or welfare of the tenants in the mobile home park, to preserve the landlord's property from abuse, to make a fair distribution of services and facilities held out for the tenants generally, or to facilitate mobile home park management. (2) They are reasonably related to the purpose for which adopted. (3) They apply to all tenants in the mobile home park in a fair manner. (4) They are sufficiently explicit in prohibition, direction or limitation of the tenant's conduct to fairly inform that person of what must or must not be done to comply. (5) They are not for the purpose of evading the obligations of the landlord. (6) the prospective tenant is given a copy of them before the rental agreement is entered into. (b) Notice of all such additions, changes, deletions or amendments shall be given to all mobile home tenants 30 days before they become effective. Any rule or condition of occupancy which is unfair and deceptive or which does not conform to the requirements of this act shall be unenforceable. A rule or regulation adopted after the tenant enters into the rental agreement is enforceable against the tenant only if it does not work a substantial modification of that person's rental agreement or the tenant consents to it in writing. (c) A landlord shall not: (1) Deny rental unless the tenant or prospective tenant cannot conform to park rules and regulations; (2) require any person as a precondition to renting, leasing or otherwise occupying or removing from a mobile home space in a mobile home park to pay an entrance or exit fee of any kind unless for services actually rendered; (3) deny any resident of a mobile home park the right to sell that person's mobile home at a price of the person's own choosing, but may reserve the right to approve the purchaser of such mobile home as a tenant but such permission may not be unreasonably withheld, provided however, that the landlord, in the event of a sale to a third party, in order to upgrade the quality of the mobile home park, may require that any mobile home in a rundown condition or in disrepair be removed from the park within 60 days; (4) exact a commission or fee with respect to the price realized by the tenant selling the tenant's mobile home, unless the park owner or operator has acted as agent for the mobile home owner pursuant to a written agreement; (5) prohibit meetings among tenants in the mobile home park relating to mobile home living and affairs in the park community or recreational hall if such meetings are held at reasonable hours and when the facility is not otherwise in use; (6) charge a fee based on the number of members in the tenant's immediate family. Immediate family includes the tenant, the tenant's spouse, any children of the tenant or the tenant's spouse, and the parents of the tenant or the tenant's spouse; (7) charge a fee to an individual resident who shares such resident's mobile home with one other person; or (8) charge a fee for a guest of a resident who stays in such resident mobile home less than 30 days in any calendar year.
Kansas Statute §§ 58-2501 through 58-25,114 governs how mobile home park landlords may create and enforce rules about tenant use and occupancy. To be enforceable, any such rule must be written, serve a legitimate purpose (such as safety or fair distribution of services), apply fairly to all tenants, and be clearly stated — and tenants must receive a copy before signing a rental agreement. The statute also prohibits landlords from imposing entrance or exit fees without actual services rendered, charging fees based on family size or a single additional occupant, restricting tenants' rights to sell their mobile homes at their chosen price, or preventing tenant meetings about park affairs. Changes to existing rules require at least 30 days' written notice before taking effect, and any rule that is unfair, deceptive, or inconsistent with the act is unenforceable.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2501 through 58-25,114, compliant mobile home park operators put all park rules in writing and provide a copy to prospective tenants before any rental agreement is signed. When rules are added, changed, or removed, operators generally provide written notice to all tenants at least 30 days before those changes take effect, and they do not impose new rules that substantially alter existing rental agreements without the tenant's written consent. Operators also avoid charging fees tied to family size, single additional occupants, or short-term guests (under 30 days per calendar year), and they refrain from collecting entrance or exit fees unless tied to services actually provided.

Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2501 through 58-25,114 gives mobile home park tenants the right to receive a written copy of all park rules before signing a rental agreement, and to receive at least 30 days' notice before any rule changes take effect. Rules that are unfair, deceptive, or that don't meet the statute's requirements — such as fees based on family size, charges for a single additional occupant, or restrictions on selling your mobile home at your chosen price — are unenforceable under this provision. Tenants who believe a rule or fee violates these standards may consider raising the violation as a defense in any related proceeding, filing a complaint with a relevant Kansas state agency, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for general information about available options.
