Cal. Civ. Code § 44-7-82
Application of article to tenant’s mobile home.
Operative Text
(a) As used in this Code section, the term “mobile home” means a movable or portable dwelling over 32 feet in length and over eight feet wide which is constructed to be towed on its own chassis and to be connected to utilities and is designed without a permanent foundation for year-round occupancy. A mobile home may consist of one or more components that can be retracted for towing purposes and subsequently expanded for additional capacity or may consist of two or more units separately towable but designed to be joined into one integral unit. (b) A tenant’s mobile home, as defined in subsection (a) of this Code section, shall be considered “property,” as that term is used in this article.
Under O.C.G.A. § 44-7-82, a mobile home meeting specific size criteria—over 32 feet in length and over eight feet wide, built to be towed on its own chassis, connectable to utilities, and designed for year-round occupancy without a permanent foundation—is classified as 'property' within the meaning of Georgia's landlord-tenant article. This classification means that a tenant's qualifying mobile home receives the same legal recognition as other forms of property under that article. The provision covers both single-unit mobile homes and those made up of multiple components or towable sections joined together.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under Georgia's landlord-tenant framework should be aware that O.C.G.A. § 44-7-82 extends 'property' status to qualifying tenant-owned mobile homes situated on a rented lot or premises. Compliant operators generally account for this classification when drafting lease terms, handling disputes, or taking any action that could affect a tenant's mobile home. Recognizing the mobile home as legally protected property under this article helps operators avoid actions that might otherwise be challenged as interfering with a tenant's property rights.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
O.C.G.A. § 44-7-82 establishes that a qualifying mobile home you own is recognized as 'property' under Georgia's landlord-tenant article, which can be relevant if a dispute arises over how your home is treated by a landlord. This classification may provide a basis for asserting property-related protections available under the broader article when your mobile home meets the size and construction criteria described in the provision. Tenants who believe their rights under this section have been affected may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid service familiar with Georgia landlord-tenant law for general information about available options.
