Cal. Civ. Code § 410-6-6-5
Minimum lighting
Operative Text
Sec. 5. There shall be a minimum of three-tenths (0.3) foot-candles illumination on streets and walkways in a mobile home community, except where an individual yard light is installed on each mobile home community lot. If an individual yard light is installed on each mobile home community lot, it shall provide illumination at least equivalent to that of a forty (40) watt incandescent bulb.
Under 410 IAC 6-6 § 410-6-6-5, streets and walkways within a mobile home community must be lit to at least 0.3 foot-candles of illumination. An exception applies when each individual lot in the community has its own yard light, in which case that yard light must produce illumination at least equivalent to a 40-watt incandescent bulb. The rule establishes a baseline lighting standard intended to ensure safe passage through common areas of mobile home communities.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home communities subject to 410 IAC 6-6 § 410-6-6-5 generally maintain street and walkway lighting that meets the 0.3 foot-candle minimum throughout the property. If the community instead relies on individual yard lights on each lot, compliant operators ensure every lot has a yard light producing illumination equivalent to at least a 40-watt incandescent bulb—with no lots left unlit. Routine inspections of lighting fixtures and prompt replacement of failed bulbs are practices commonly associated with maintaining compliance with this provision.

Residents of mobile home communities have an interest in knowing that 410 IAC 6-6 § 410-6-6-5 establishes minimum lighting standards for streets, walkways, and individual lots. If lighting in a community appears to fall below these standards—whether on shared walkways or on individual lots lacking adequate yard lights—tenants may consider documenting the conditions and contacting the Indiana State Department of Health or a local code enforcement office to report a potential violation. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand what options are generally available when a community appears out of compliance with this provision.
