Minn. Stat. § 327C § 327C.14
RIGHT OF ACCESS.
Operative Text
Subdivision 1.To the home. A park owner has no right of access to a manufactured home located within the park unless access is necessary to prevent damage to the park premises or to respond to an emergency. Subd. 2.To the lot. A park owner may come onto a manufactured home lot in order to inspect the lot, make necessary or agreed-upon repairs or improvements, supply necessary or agreed-upon goods or services or exhibit the lot to prospective or actual purchasers, mortgagees, residents, workers or contractors. The park owner may come onto the resident's lot whenever necessary to respond to or prevent an emergency, but otherwise may not come onto the lot at unreasonable times or in a way that unreasonably disrupts the resident's use and enjoyment of the lot.
Under Minn. Stat. § 327C.14, Minnesota law draws a clear line between a manufactured home and the lot it sits on when it comes to park-owner access. A park owner generally has no right to enter the home itself unless damage prevention or an emergency requires it. Access to the lot is permitted for purposes such as inspection, repairs, services, or showing the property to prospective buyers or contractors, but only at reasonable times and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the resident's use and enjoyment of the space.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Minn. Stat. § 327C.14 sets firm boundaries that compliant park operators observe when accessing resident lots and homes. For lot access, operators typically schedule visits at reasonable hours, provide appropriate notice, and limit entry to the purposes listed in the statute—such as inspections, agreed-upon repairs, or showing the lot to contractors or prospective residents. Entry into the manufactured home itself is treated as a separate and much more restricted matter, generally reserved only for genuine emergencies or situations where park premises face imminent damage.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Minn. Stat. § 327C.14 gives manufactured-home residents meaningful protections against unwanted intrusion by a park owner. Your home is largely off-limits to the park owner except in true emergencies or to prevent damage to the park, and even lot access must occur at reasonable times without unreasonably disrupting your use and enjoyment of the space. If you believe a park owner has violated these access rules, options can include documenting the incidents, raising the violation as a defense in any related proceeding, or contacting a tenant-rights or manufactured-home-resident advocacy organization for general information about available remedies.
