Cal. Civ. Code § 55.1-1304
Tenant's obligations.
Operative Text
In addition to the provisions of the rental agreement, the tenant shall: 1. Comply with applicable laws affecting manufactured home owners and tenants; 2. Keep and maintain the exterior of the tenant's manufactured home and manufactured home lot as clean and safe as conditions permit; 3. Place all garbage and other waste in the appropriate receptacles, which shall be provided by the tenant when door-to-door garbage and waste pickup is provided; 4. Use in a reasonable and orderly manner all facilities and appliances in the manufactured home park and require any guest or invitee to do so; 5. Conduct himself and require any guest or invitee to conduct himself in a manner that will not disturb the tenant's neighbors' peaceful enjoyment of the premises; 6. Abide by all reasonable rules and regulations imposed by the landlord; and 7. In the absence of express written agreement to the contrary, occupy the tenant's manufactured home only as a dwelling unit.
Virginia Code § 55.1-1304 sets out a list of baseline obligations that manufactured home park tenants must meet beyond whatever their individual rental agreement requires. These obligations cover keeping the home and lot clean and safe, properly disposing of waste, using shared park facilities responsibly, maintaining peaceful conduct, following the landlord's reasonable rules, and using the home as a dwelling unless a written agreement says otherwise. The provision applies to both the tenant and any guests or invitees the tenant brings onto the property.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Va. Code § 55.1-1304, compliant manufactured home park operators typically document their community rules and regulations in writing and ensure those rules are reasonable and consistently applied to all residents. Operators generally maintain records of any written agreements that authorize non-dwelling uses of a manufactured home, since the default rule restricts occupancy to residential purposes. When door-to-door garbage pickup is offered, operators should be aware that the provision places responsibility for providing appropriate receptacles on the tenant, not the landlord.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Va. Code § 55.1-1304 outlines the conduct and maintenance standards that apply to you as a manufactured home park tenant, including keeping your home and lot clean, disposing of waste properly, using park facilities reasonably, and ensuring your guests behave accordingly. Understanding these obligations can be important if a landlord raises a lease violation or seeks to terminate your tenancy, since compliance with this section may be relevant to any dispute. Tenants who have questions about whether a landlord's rules qualify as "reasonable" under this provision may find it helpful to consult a tenant-rights organization or Virginia's legal aid resources for general guidance.
