The name and address of the person authorized to manage the premises. 2. The name and address of the owner of the premises. 3. If applicable, the name and address of a person authorized to act for and on behalf of the owner for the purpose of service of process and for the purpose of receiving and receipting for notices and demands. 4.

The landlord may disclose the rent history with calculations that fairly describe the rent history and that are made in any manner that reasonably informs the prospective tenant of the history of basic space rent in the mobile home park during that period. The disclosure calculation may be made in January of each year by adding the dollar amounts or percentage amounts for aggregate rental increases that became effective in the prior calendar year for every space in the park and dividing that number by the total number of occupied revenue spaces for which rent was or could have been increased. This average amount of rental increase or average percentage of rental increase shall be posted at the rental office for three years. Disclosure calculations made pursuant to this section shall be made to the best of the landlord's ability. B. The information required to be furnished by this section shall be kept current and refurnished to the tenant on the tenant's request except that any successor landlord shall not be required to provide average rent disclosures relating to previous landlords. C. When there is a new owner or operator this section extends to and is enforceable against any successor landlord, owner or manager. D.
