Cal. Civ. Code § 700.600
Notice required before landlord may evict, when — landlord prohibited from increasing rent, when
Operative Text
1. As used in this section, the following terms mean: (1) "Manufactured home", the same meaning as provided in section 700.010; (2) "Manufactured or mobile home land lease community", any area, lot, parcel, or tract held in common ownership and on which individual portions of such area, lot, parcel, or tract are leased for the placement of manufactured or mobile homes as a primary residence; (3) "Mobile home", a residential building constructed or assembled in a factory which is not certified pursuant to the federal Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Code and which conforms to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards for mobile homes. 2. A landlord of a manufactured or mobile home land lease community shall provide written notice to all of the community's tenants who own their manufactured or mobile homes at least one hundred twenty days prior to requiring such tenants to vacate the property due to a change in use of the property. In cases where more than one hundred twenty days remain on a current lease, the longer time period shall apply for purposes of providing notice pursuant to this section. The landlord shall not increase the rent, except for a rent increase based solely on an increase in property taxes, for any tenant of the manufactured or mobile home land lease community during the sixty-day period prior to providing such notice or at any time after providing such notice. 3. Nothing in this section shall be construed as prohibiting a landlord from evicting a tenant with less than one hundred twenty days' notice for any reason other than a change in use of the property.
Missouri Revised Statutes § 700.600 establishes specific notice and rent-increase protections for tenants who own their manufactured or mobile homes but lease the land beneath them in a community setting. When a landlord intends to change the use of the property and requires tenants to vacate, the law mandates at least 120 days of written notice — or the remainder of the current lease term if that is longer. Additionally, the landlord is barred from raising rent during the 60-day window before such notice is given and at any point after notice is delivered, with the sole exception of increases tied directly to rising property taxes. The provision does not limit a landlord's ability to pursue eviction for reasons unrelated to a change in land use.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of manufactured or mobile home land lease communities in Missouri should be aware that § 700.600 imposes a mandatory 120-day written notice requirement before displacing tenants due to a change in property use, and that if existing leases run longer than 120 days, the lease term governs the notice period. Compliant operators also refrain from implementing any rent increases during the 60 days preceding such a notice and throughout the entire notice period, unless the increase is solely attributable to a documented rise in property taxes. Operators retain the ability to pursue eviction proceedings for causes other than a change in use under standard notice timelines, as § 700.600 does not restrict those separate grounds.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under § 700.600 of Missouri's Revised Statutes, tenants who own their manufactured or mobile home but lease the land in a community have the right to at least 120 days' written notice — or the balance of their lease term if longer — before a landlord can require them to leave due to a change in property use. The law also protects tenants from rent increases during the 60-day period before such notice is issued and throughout the entire notice period, except for increases tied solely to property tax changes. Tenants who believe a landlord has violated these notice or rent-increase requirements may consider documenting the timeline of events, consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with Missouri manufactured-housing law, or exploring whether the violation can be raised as a defense in any eviction proceeding.
