Operative Text
ATCP 125.05 Changes in rental terms or manufactured home community rules. (1) If any change or increase in rent or fees, or any other substantial change in the terms or conditions of tenancy is to be made in connection with the renewal of any rental agreement, a copy of the proposed new agreement, or amendments to the existing agreement, shall be furnished to the tenant, in writing, at least 28 days prior to the date on which the proposed new agreement is to take effect. All changes shall be specifically brought to the tenant’s attention by a separate statement on the proposed rental agreement or in a separate written document attached to the rental agreement. The operator or a representative of the operator shall meet with tenants, or any group of tenants, on the proposed changes, at their request. Nothing in this section shall be construed as interfering with the operator’s right to terminate any tenancy in accordance with s. 710.15 and ch. 704, Stats., and s. ATCP 125.09, if the tenant declines to accept the proposed new agreement. (2) Rules and regulations which substantially affect the rights or duties of tenants or the operator under s. 710.15, Stats., or this chapter may not be created or changed during the term of the rental agreement. This includes but is not limited to: (a) Rules setting standards and requirements for skirting, weatherproofing or frostproofing, and auxiliary buildings or sheds. (b) Rules limiting occupancy of manufactured homes with respect to the number or age of occupants. (c) Vehicle parking rules imposed by the operator. (d) Rules restricting or regulating overnight guests. (e) Rules restricting or regulating pets. (f) Rules requiring tenants to repair or maintain their manufactured home. (g) Rules defining the tenant’s and operator’s rights and responsibilities with regard to maintenance of the site. (h) Rules restricting or regulating tenants’ outdoor antennas or satellite dishes. (3) Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, an operator may change or create general manufactured home community rules and regulations during the term of any rental agreement or tenancy, provided all tenants are given at least 28 days prior written notice of any proposed change and an opportunity to meet with the operator or a representative of the operator on the proposed change before it takes effect. (4) Notice of proposed changes in rental terms and conditions or manufactured home community rules and regulations under this section may be furnished to the tenant in person or by mail. Notice by mail shall be considered actual notice.
Wisconsin Administrative Code § ATCP 125.05 governs how and when operators of manufactured home communities may change rent, fees, or tenancy conditions. For changes tied to a lease renewal, tenants must receive written notice of the proposed new or amended agreement at least 28 days in advance, with all changes specifically highlighted. Certain substantive rules—such as those covering pets, parking, guests, skirting standards, and site maintenance—cannot be created or altered during an active lease term, while more general community rules may be changed mid-term only with at least 28 days' prior written notice and an opportunity for tenants to meet with the operator.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of manufactured home communities subject to § ATCP 125.05 generally provide written notice of any rent increase, fee change, or other substantial tenancy change at least 28 days before a renewal agreement takes effect, and they separately highlight every change in the document. Compliant operators also refrain from creating or modifying rules that substantially affect tenant rights—such as pet policies, parking rules, or occupancy limits—while a rental agreement is in force. For general community rule changes permitted mid-term under subsection (3), operators typically deliver written notice to all tenants at least 28 days in advance and make themselves or a representative available to meet with tenants before the change takes effect.

Under § ATCP 125.05, tenants in Wisconsin manufactured home communities have the right to receive written notice of proposed rent increases, fee changes, or other substantial tenancy changes at least 28 days before a renewal agreement takes effect, with all changes specifically called out. Tenants also have the right to request a meeting with the operator or their representative to discuss proposed changes before agreeing to them. If an operator attempts to impose mid-term changes to rules covering areas like pets, parking, guests, or site maintenance—categories protected under subsection (2)—tenants may have grounds to raise that violation through a complaint or as a defense in a legal proceeding; tenant-rights organizations familiar with Wisconsin manufactured home community law can help identify available options.
