Cal. Civ. Code § ATCP 125.08
Termination of tenancy.
Operative Text
ATCP 125.08 Termination of tenancy. (1) Whenever an operator terminates any rental agreement or refuses, upon the expiration of a lease, to renew the lease or to enter into a new rental agreement, the operator shall provide the tenant with written notice setting forth the reason for such termination or refusal. Notices of termination shall comply with the requirements of s. 710.15 and ch. 704, Stats., as applicable. If the rental agreement does not comply with the requirements of s. ATCP 125.03 (1) (intro.) and (2), the operator shall comply with the notice requirements of s. 704.17 (2), Stats., when terminating a tenancy, unless the operator or tenant proves that other notice requirements under s. 704.17 (1p) or (3), Stats., are applicable. (2) No operator shall terminate a rental agreement or refuse, upon expiration of a lease, to renew the lease or to enter into a new rental agreement for the reason that: (a) The tenant has reported a violation, by the operator, of this chapter or any other law to any governmental authority, or filed suit alleging such violation. (b) The tenant is a member of a tenant’s union or association. (c) The operator wishes to make a site available to a person purchasing a mobile home from the operator or an agent of the operator. (3) No operator may solicit or receive any payment or other thing of value, except for normal rental payments, in return for permitting a tenant to leave the tenant’s mobile home in the manufactured home community upon termination of tenancy.
Under Wis. Admin. Code § ATCP 125.08, when a manufactured home community operator ends a tenancy or declines to renew a lease, the operator must give the tenant written notice explaining the reason, and that notice must meet the requirements of applicable Wisconsin statutes. The rule also prohibits operators from terminating or refusing to renew a tenancy because a tenant reported a legal violation, belongs to a tenant organization, or because the operator wants to free up the site for a home buyer. Additionally, operators are barred from collecting any payment beyond normal rent in exchange for allowing a tenant's mobile home to remain on the site after tenancy ends.

Operators subject to Wis. Admin. Code § ATCP 125.08 are generally expected to provide written termination notices that state a clear reason and satisfy the applicable statutory notice periods under ch. 704 and s. 710.15. Compliant operators avoid basing any non-renewal or termination decision on a tenant's protected activities, such as filing a complaint or joining a tenant association. No fee or other consideration beyond standard rent may be accepted in exchange for allowing a home to remain on the site after a tenancy concludes.

Wis. Admin. Code § ATCP 125.08 gives tenants in manufactured home communities the right to receive a written explanation whenever an operator ends or declines to renew their tenancy. Tenants who believe a termination was triggered by a complaint they filed, their membership in a tenant organization, or an improper payment demand may have grounds to raise that as a defense or file a complaint with a relevant governmental authority. Consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with Wisconsin manufactured housing law can help tenants understand which options are available under this provision.
