Cal. Civ. Code § 398.8
Entrance and Exit Fees
Operative Text
Entrance and exit fees may not be charged.
Under 68 P.S. § 398.8, mobile home park operators in Pennsylvania are prohibited from charging residents any fee simply for moving into or out of the park. This rule eliminates a category of charges that could otherwise be used to restrict a resident's freedom to enter or leave a community. The prohibition applies regardless of how such a fee might be labeled or structured.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home parks subject to 68 P.S. § 398.8 generally do not assess any charge—under any name or description—that functions as a fee for a resident's arrival at or departure from the park. Compliant operators review their fee schedules to ensure no line item effectively constitutes an entrance or exit charge. Keeping lease agreements and community rules free of such fees is consistent with the statute's requirements.

Under 68 P.S. § 398.8, tenants in Pennsylvania mobile home parks have the right to move in or out without being charged an entrance or exit fee. If a park operator attempts to collect such a fee, residents may have grounds to contest the charge, including by raising the statutory prohibition as a defense or by contacting a tenant-rights organization familiar with manufactured housing law. State or local housing agencies may also be a resource for understanding available complaint processes.
