Easton, Mass., Code of Bylaws ch 506 § 506-10
Severability (Easton Mobile Home Park Rules and Regulations)
Operative Text
If any provision of this regulation or the application of such provision to any person or circumstance shall be held invalid, the validity of other provisions or the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be thereby affected.
Section 506-10 of Easton, Mass., Code of Bylaws CH. 506 establishes a severability rule, meaning that if any single part of the regulation is found legally invalid or unenforceable, the rest of the regulation continues to stand on its own. The invalidity of one provision does not automatically taint or nullify the remaining provisions. This is a standard legal mechanism designed to preserve as much of the regulation as possible when a court or authority strikes down a portion of it.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 506-10, property owners and managers can generally rely on the broader rental regulation remaining in effect even if a specific clause within it is successfully challenged. Compliant operators typically continue following all other provisions of CH. 506 unless a specific section has been formally declared invalid. Staying informed about any legal challenges to the regulation helps operators understand which, if any, portions may no longer apply.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 506-10 means that tenant protections established elsewhere in CH. 506 generally remain enforceable even if another part of the regulation is struck down. Tenants who believe a landlord is violating an active provision of the code may consider raising that violation through available local channels, such as contacting the relevant Easton municipal authority or consulting a tenant-rights organization. The severability clause in § 506-10 helps ensure that a challenge to one rule does not inadvertently eliminate other protections tenants may rely on.
