How‑To
How to Read Park Rules & Your Lease
A practical walkthrough of the sections that matter most—so you sign with confidence.
Key sections to review
- Term, renewals, and notices — timing and how changes are communicated.
- Rent & fees — due date, late fees, utilities, pet/vehicle/amenity fees.
- Use rules — parking, speed limits, quiet hours, pets, improvements.
- Maintenance responsibilities — your lot/home vs community areas.
- Approvals & enforcement — written approvals, violation process, timelines.
Questions to ask (and get in writing)
- What’s included with lot rent? How are utilities billed?
- What are the rules for extra vehicles, trailers, or guests?
- What’s the process for improvements (sheds, porches, fences)?
- How are rule changes communicated and when do they apply?
