Changing Rules and Regulations

Phil Querin Q&A: Rules Changes in Manufactured Housing Communities

 

Question: In regards to rules changes, I see two problematic scenarios: (1) Parks that post a new rule in a common area that either overrides an existing rule or is an additional rule not covered in residents' current rules and regs; and (2) Parks that send residents a new set of rules and regs without providing any notice about resident opportunity to object to such new rules and regs. In both scenarios, management fails to give notice required under 90.610. In the first scenario, management not only fails to inform residents of their opportunity to object, they are not even complying with the basic notice requirement in 90.155since they are only posting in a common space where residents hopefully will see it. Can you comment?

 

 

 

First Commercial Property Article: The Importance of Rules and Regulations in YOUR Community

Stating the obvious: Rules and Regulations (aka Guidelines For Living) set forth living and maintenance behavior which a MHC Resident must follow while living in your community. These R&Rs can include items like maintaining yards, limiting on-street parking, allowing or prohibiting fences, cleaning up after pets, deck sizes, night time quite hours and a whole host of other items governing how your community is maintained and used.
