Kan. Stat. Ann. § 58-25,116
The tenant shall occupy the tenant's mobile home only as a dwelling unit and may rent the mobile home to another, only upon written agreement with the park management.
Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Under Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2501 through 58-25,116, a mobile home tenant is required to use their mobile home exclusively as a residential dwelling and is not permitted to operate it as a business or other non-residential space. Subletting or renting the mobile home to another person is allowed, but only when the tenant has a written agreement with park management authorizing that arrangement. The rule establishes both a use restriction and a procedural requirement for any transfer of occupancy.

For Property Managers

Under Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2501 through 58-25,116, compliant mobile home park operators typically maintain clear written policies confirming that lots and homes are restricted to residential use. When a tenant seeks to sublet their mobile home, operators generally document any approval through a written agreement before the sublease takes effect. Keeping records of all such written agreements helps demonstrate that the park is administering occupancy transfers consistently with the statute.

For Tenants

Kan. Stat. Ann. §§ 58-2501 through 58-25,116 establishes that your right to sublet your mobile home depends on obtaining a written agreement from park management — an oral approval alone would not satisfy the statutory requirement. If park management refuses to put a subletting approval in writing or imposes conditions that seem inconsistent with the statute, tenants generally have the option of contacting a local tenant-rights organization or a Kansas legal aid office to understand available remedies. Tenants may also wish to retain copies of any written communications with park management regarding use restrictions or subletting requests.
