Fla. Stat. § 723.001 et seq. § 723.002
(1) The provisions of this chapter apply to any residential tenancy in which a mobile home is placed upon a rented or leased lot in a mobile home park in which 10 or more lots are offered for rent or lease. This chapter shall not be construed to apply to any other tenancy, including a tenancy in which both a mobile home and a mobile home lot are rented or leased by the mobile home resident or a tenancy in which a rental space is offered for occupancy by recreational-vehicle-type units which are primarily designed as temporary living quarters for recreational camping or travel use and which either have their own motor power or are mounted on or drawn by another vehicle. When both the mobile home and lot are rented or when fewer than 10 lots are available for rent or lease, the tenancy shall be governed by the provisions of part II of chapter 83, the “Florida Residential Landlord and Tenant Act.” However, this chapter shall continue to apply to any tenancy in a park even though the number of lots offered in that park has been reduced to below 10 if that tenancy was subject to the provisions of this chapter prior to the reduction in lots. This subsection is intended to clarify existing law. (2) The provisions of ss. 723.035, 723.037, 723.038, 723.054, 723.055, 723.056, 723.058, and 723.068 are applicable to mobile home subdivision developers and the owners of lots in mobile home subdivisions. (3) Any other provision of this chapter or any other provision of the Florida Statutes to the contrary notwithstanding, the provisions of this chapter shall be applicable to a park trailer located on a mobile home lot in a mobile home park.

Plain English

Florida Statute § 723.002 defines the scope of the Florida Mobile Home Act, which applies specifically to residential tenancies where a mobile home owner rents or leases a lot in a mobile home park containing 10 or more lots. The chapter does not cover situations where both the mobile home and the lot are rented together, parks with fewer than 10 lots, or spaces used for recreational vehicles intended as temporary quarters — those arrangements fall under the Florida Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (Part II of Chapter 83). Notably, a park that previously qualified under this chapter retains its coverage even if its lot count later drops below 10, and park trailers on mobile home lots in qualifying parks are also covered.

For Property Managers

Operators of mobile home parks should understand that § 723.002 determines which legal framework governs their relationships with residents — specifically, parks offering 10 or more lots for rent or lease fall under the Florida Mobile Home Act rather than the general residential landlord-tenant statute. Compliant park operators typically assess whether their park meets the lot-count threshold and whether they are renting lots only (versus both the home and lot) to determine which statutory obligations apply. Operators of mobile home subdivisions should also note that § 723.002(2) makes certain specific sections of the chapter applicable to subdivision developers and lot owners, warranting a careful review of those enumerated provisions.

For Tenants

Under § 723.002, mobile home residents who own their home but rent their lot in a park with 10 or more lots are generally protected by the Florida Mobile Home Act, which provides distinct rights compared to the standard residential landlord-tenant law. Residents in parks that previously had 10 or more lots retain those protections even if the park has since reduced its lot count below that threshold. Tenants who are uncertain which legal framework applies to their situation — particularly those in smaller parks or arrangements where both the home and lot are rented — may benefit from contacting a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid office for general information about their rights.
