Section 27-47-510 of the South Carolina Manufactured Home Park Tenancy Act sets out a resident's basic obligations within a manufactured home park. Residents are required to follow applicable building, housing, and health codes, keep their lot clean, stay current on rent, and abide by the rental agreement and park regulations. The provision also makes residents responsible for ensuring that guests and others they allow onto the property behave in a way that does not unreasonably disturb neighbors or violate the rental agreement.

Under S.C. Code Ann. § 27-47-510, park operators can generally expect residents to maintain their lots, comply with applicable codes, keep rent current, and manage the conduct of their guests. Compliant operators typically document any alleged violations of these resident obligations in writing and follow the procedures outlined in the rental agreement and applicable state law before taking further action. Operators who issue new rental rate notices under Section 27-47-420 should be aware that this provision triggers a thirty-day window during which residents must respond in writing about their intent to continue the tenancy, making clear and timely notice practices important for smooth park administration.
