Operative Text
The Board shall regulate standards for use or occupancy of mobile home park accommodations, and shall regulate eviction of tenants at mobile home parks, and may issue orders which shall be defenses to actions of summary process for possession.
Cheshire, Mass., Code of Bylaws CH. 155 § 155-5 establishes that the local Board holds authority over the standards governing how mobile home park accommodations may be used or occupied. The Board also oversees the eviction process at mobile home parks and can issue orders that tenants may use as legal defenses in summary process (eviction) court proceedings. This provision creates a regulatory layer between mobile home park residents and eviction actions by giving the Board's orders formal legal weight in court.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under CH. 155 § 155-5, operators of mobile home parks in Cheshire are subject to Board-established standards for use and occupancy of their accommodations. Compliant operators generally familiarize themselves with any Board orders in effect before initiating a summary process action, since those orders can serve as valid defenses for tenants in eviction proceedings. Staying current with Board regulations and orders helps ensure that eviction actions are not undermined by outstanding compliance issues.
