Operative Text
23-10-13. Change in use or closure of mobile home park.
If the owner of a mobile home park applies for the rezoning of a park, the owner shall post a
notice of the proposed rezoning in the park at least five days before the public hearing on the
rezoning. In addition, the owner of a mobile home park shall notify all tenants in that park in
writing of a change in use at least one hundred eighty days before the change in use. A change
in use is a change in the park that would alter any portion of the park which is used to lease to
mobile home owners so that the portion will no longer be leased to mobile home owners. The
owner or manager may not increase rent within ninety days before giving notice of a change in
use for the portion of the park to which the change will apply.Under N.D.C.C. § 23-10-13, when a mobile home park owner pursues rezoning, a public notice must be posted within the park at least five days before the rezoning hearing. If the owner intends to change the use of any portion of the park so that it will no longer be leased to mobile home owners, all affected tenants must receive written notice at least 180 days in advance. Additionally, the owner or manager is prohibited from raising rent on the affected portion of the park within the 90-day window preceding the issuance of that change-in-use notice.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home parks in North Dakota should be aware that § 23-10-13 imposes distinct procedural obligations when a park is being rezoned or converted away from mobile home use. A compliant operator posts the required rezoning notice inside the park at least five days before any public hearing and delivers written change-in-use notices to all affected tenants no later than 180 days before the conversion takes effect. Compliant operators also refrain from implementing any rent increases on the affected portion of the park during the 90-day period that precedes the delivery of that change-in-use notice.

Section 23-10-13 of the North Dakota Century Code gives mobile home park residents the right to at least 180 days' written notice before a park owner converts any portion of the park away from mobile home leasing, providing meaningful time to arrange alternative housing. Tenants are also protected from rent increases on the affected portion of the park during the 90 days immediately before that notice is issued. Residents who believe these notice or rent-increase protections have been violated may consider contacting a local tenant-rights organization, reaching out to their city or county zoning authority, or consulting an attorney familiar with North Dakota landlord-tenant law to understand available options.
