230 R.I. Code R. 30-15-1 § 230-RICR-30-15-1 § 1.9
Land Use Changes
Operative Text
Any Licensee who makes or who had knowledge of an application of any type of request to any municipal, state or federal agency or other governmental entity with respect to any matter which may result in a change in the land use of a park shall give written notice of the application or request to all affected residents of the Park. The written notice shall clearly state the reasons for which the application or request was filed and the name, address and telephone number of the governmental agency with which the application or request was filed.
Under 230 RICR 30-15-1 § 1.9, whenever a mobile home park licensee makes or becomes aware of any application or request filed with a municipal, state, or federal agency that could result in a change in the land use of the park, all affected residents must receive written notice. That notice must clearly explain why the application or request was filed and identify the governmental agency involved, including its name, address, and telephone number. This rule ensures residents have access to information about potential land use changes that could affect their homes before or as those processes unfold.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Park operators subject to 230 RICR 30-15-1 § 1.9 generally maintain a process for monitoring any applications or requests—whether filed by themselves or of which they gain knowledge—that could affect the park's land use designation. Compliant operators prepare written notices that plainly describe the purpose of the filing and include the full contact information for the relevant governmental agency, then distribute those notices to all affected residents in a timely manner. Keeping records of when and how notices were delivered can help demonstrate compliance with this provision.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 230 RICR 30-15-1 § 1.9 gives park residents the right to written notice any time a licensee files or learns of a governmental application that could change the land use of the park where they live. If a resident believes they did not receive the required notice—or that the notice lacked the required details about the filing's purpose and the agency's contact information—they may consider raising this as a concern with the relevant Rhode Island regulatory authority or consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with mobile home park law. Residents who receive a notice can use the agency contact information provided to learn more about the pending application directly from the governmental body involved.
