Fla. Stat. § 723.001 et seq. § 723.086
Property and lienholder contracts.
Operative Text
The property owner and lienholder may enter into any contract providing rights, duties, and obligations different from those set forth in this act, and the terms and conditions of such contract shall control the rights, duties, and obligations of the parties with respect to any action at law brought to enforce the provisions of this act. Any such contract shall control the rights, duties, and obligations of the parties to the extent of any inconsistency with the provisions of this act.
Florida Statute § 723.086 allows a mobile home park property owner and a lienholder to enter into a private contract that sets out rights, duties, and obligations different from the default rules established elsewhere in Chapter 723. When such a contract exists, its terms take precedence over the statutory defaults in any legal action brought to enforce the act, to the extent the contract and the statute conflict. In other words, the parties' written agreement can effectively customize or override the standard statutory framework between them.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Fla. Stat. § 723.086, property owners who have financing or lien arrangements on their mobile home park may negotiate contract terms with lienholders that differ from the Chapter 723 defaults. Operators who enter into such agreements generally ensure those contracts are clearly written and comprehensive, since the contract language will govern in any enforcement action where it conflicts with the statute. Maintaining well-documented lienholder agreements is a common practice for operators who want predictable, customized obligations rather than relying solely on statutory defaults.

Fla. Stat. § 723.086 governs the relationship between the park owner and lienholders—not the relationship between the park owner and residents—but the existence of a lienholder contract can affect how the park is operated and what obligations the owner is bound by. Tenants who believe park operations are being affected by such arrangements may benefit from reviewing any publicly available documents or consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with Florida mobile home park law. Understanding whether a lienholder contract is in place can be relevant context when a resident is evaluating rights under Chapter 723 more broadly.
