Stat. 745 § 13, compliant mobile home park operators typically document tenant obligations in the lease and ensure that park rules referenced by the provision are written, clearly communicated, and consistently applied. Operators generally maintain records of any rule violations and provide tenants with notice before pursuing enforcement action. Designated vehicle-washing areas and clearly posted guest parking rules are among the specific operational details that support compliance with this section.
