15 rule, increase the amount of the annual fee to an amount not

15 subsection does shall not be construed to invalidate those lot
16 rental agreements for which an approved prospectus was
17 required to be delivered and which was delivered on or before

25 home owner within 45 days of approval by the division.
26
27 This paragraph does shall not preclude the finding that a lot
28 rental agreement is invalid on other grounds and does shall

30 to preclude a mobile home owner from seeking any remedies

3 amended to read:
4 723.037 Lot rental increases; reduction in services or
5 utilities; change in rules and regulations; mediation.--
6 (4)(a) A committee, not to exceed five in number,
7 designated by a majority of the affected mobile home owners or
8 by the board of directors of the homeowners' association, if
9 applicable, and the park owner shall meet, at a mutually
10 convenient time and place within 30 days after receipt by the
11 homeowners of the notice of change, to discuss the reasons for
12 the increase in lot rental amount, reduction in services or
13 utilities, or change in rules and regulations.
14 (b) At the meeting, the park owner or subdivision
15 developer shall in good faith disclose and explain all
16 material factors resulting in the decision to increase the lot
17 rental amount, reduce services or utilities, or change rules
18 and regulations, including how those factors justify the
19 specific change proposed. The park owner or subdivision
20 developer may not limit the discussion of the reasons for the
21 change to generalities only, such as, but not limited to,
22 increases in operational costs, changes in economic
23 conditions, or rents charged by comparable mobile home parks.
24 For example, if the reason for an increase in lot rental
25 amount is an increase in operational costs, the park owner
26 must disclose the item or items which have increased, the
27 amount of the increase, any similar item or items which have
28 decreased, and the amount of the decrease. If an increase is
29 based upon the lot rental amount charged by comparable mobile
30 home parks, the park owner shall disclose, and provide in
31 writing to the committee at or before the meeting, the name,
6
CODING: Words stricken are deletions; words underlined are additions.

4 relied upon by the park owner. The park owner shall prepare a
5 written summary of the material factors and retain a copy for
6 3 years. The park owner shall provide the committee a copy of
7 the summary at or before the meeting.
8 (c) If the committee disagrees with a park owner's lot
9 rental amount increase based upon comparable mobile home
10 parks, the committee shall disclose to the park owner the
11 name, address, lot rental amount, and any other relevant
12 factors relied upon by the committee such as, facilities,
13 services, and amenities concerning the comparable mobile home
14 parks. The committee shall provide to the park owner the
15 disclosure, in writing, within 15 days after the meeting with
16 the park owner, together with a request for a second meeting.
17 (d) The committee and the park owner may mutually
18 agree, in writing, to extend or continue any meetings required
19 by this section.

24 scheduled meeting date described in subsection (4), the
25 homeowners may petition the division to initiate mediation of
26 the dispute pursuant to s. 723.038 if a majority of the
27 affected homeowners have designated, in writing, that:
28 1. The rental increase is unreasonable;
29 2. The rental increase has made the lot rental amount
30 unreasonable;

1 3. The decrease in services or utilities is not
2 accompanied by a corresponding decrease in rent or is
3 otherwise unreasonable; or
4 4. The change in the rules and regulations is
5 unreasonable.
6 Section 6. Section 723.061, Florida Statutes, is
7 amended to read:
8 723.061 Eviction; grounds, proceedings.--
9 (1) A mobile home park owner may evict a mobile home
10 owner or a mobile home only on one or more of the grounds
11 provided in this section.
12 (a) Nonpayment of lot rental amount. If a mobile home
13 owner fails to pay the lot rental amount when due and if the
14 default continues for 5 days after delivery of a written
15 demand by the mobile home park owner for payment of the lot
16 rental amount, the park owner may terminate the tenancy.
17 However, if the mobile home owner pays the lot rental amount
18 due, including any late charges, court costs, and attorney's
19 fees, the court may, for good cause, deny the order of
20 eviction, provided such nonpayment has not occurred more than
21 twice.
22 (b) Conviction of a violation of a federal or state
23 law or local ordinance, which violation may be deemed
24 detrimental to the health, safety, or welfare of other
25 residents of the mobile home park.
26 (c) Violation of a park rule or regulation, the rental
27 agreement, or this chapter.
28 1. For the first violation of any properly promulgated
29 rule or regulation, rental agreement provision, or this
30 chapter which is found by any court having jurisdiction
31 thereof to have been an act which endangered the life, health,
8
CODING: Words stricken are deletions; words underlined are additions.
Florida Senate - 2001 CS for SB 442
315-1484-01
1 safety, or property of the park residents or the peaceful
2 enjoyment of the mobile home park by its residents, the mobile
3 home park owner may terminate the rental agreement, and the
4 mobile home owner will have 7 days from the date that the
5 notice is delivered to vacate the premises.
6 2. For a second violation of the same properly
7 promulgated rule or regulation, rental agreement provision, or
8 this chapter within 12 months, the mobile home park owner may
9 terminate the tenancy if she or he has given the mobile home
10 owner written notice within 30 days of the first violation,
11 which notice specified the actions of the mobile home owner
12 which caused the violation and gave the mobile home owner 7
13 days to correct the noncompliance. The mobile home owner must
14 have received written notice of the ground upon which she or
15 he is to be evicted at least 30 days prior to the date on
16 which she or he is required to vacate. A second violation of
17 a properly promulgated rule or regulation, rental agreement
18 provision, or this chapter within 12 months of the first
19 violation is unequivocally a ground for eviction, and it is
20 not a defense to any eviction proceeding that a violation has
21 been cured after the second violation. Violation of a rule or
22 regulation, rental agreement provision, or this chapter after
23 the passage of 1 year from the first violation of the same
24 rule or regulation, rental agreement provision, or this
25 chapter does not constitute a ground for eviction under this
26 section.
27
28 No properly promulgated rule or regulation may be arbitrarily
29 applied and used as a ground for eviction.
30 (d) Change in use of the land comprising the mobile
31 home park, or the portion thereof from which mobile homes are

Florida Senate - 2001 CS for SB 442

1 to be evicted, from mobile home lot rentals to some other use,
2 provided all tenants affected are given at least 6 month's 1
3 year's notice of the projected change of use and of their need
4 to secure other accommodations. The park owner may not give a
5 notice of increase in lot rental amount 90 days before giving
6 notice of a change in land use.
7 (e) Failure of the purchaser of a mobile home situated
8 in the mobile home park to be qualified as, and to obtain
9 approval to become, a tenant, if such approval is required by
10 a properly promulgated rule.
11 (2) In the event of eviction for change of land use,
12 homeowners must object to the change in land use by
13 petitioning for administrative or judicial remedies within 90
14 days of the date of the notice or they will be barred from
15 taking any subsequent action to contest the change in land
16 use. This provision shall not be construed to prevent any
17 homeowner from objecting to a zoning change at any time.
18 (a) Within 90 days from the time the park owner gives
19 the 1-year notice, she or he shall notify the homeowner of her
20 or his election to either buy the mobile home, relocate the
21 mobile home to another park owned by the park owner, or pay to
22 relocate the mobile home to another mobile home park, as
23 follows:
24 1. Pay as damages the actual cost, including setup
25 fees, to move an evicted mobile home, with comparable and any
26 required appurtenances, to a comparable mobile home park
27 within a 50-mile radius of the mobile home park or other
28 distance agreed upon by the park owner and mobile home owner.
29 Since the amount of damages that a homeowner will suffer due
30 to the change in land use by the park owner cannot be easily
31 estimated and would be difficult and expensive to determine,

1 it is the intent of the Legislature that the payment contained
2 herein be considered in the nature of liquidated damages and
3 not a penalty. It is the intent of the Legislature that the
4 liquidated damages to which the mobile home owner is entitled
5 be limited to the damages defined in this subparagraph only
6 for so long as this subsection remains in effect. The
7 liquidated damages apply only to the harm incurred by the
8 homeowner for having to relocate, and this provision shall not
9 preclude incidental damages that might occur in relocating the
10 mobile home;
11 2. Purchase the mobile home and all appurtenances
12 thereto at a value to be determined as follows:
13 a. A mutually agreed upon appraiser will assess the
14 book value of the mobile home and cash value of all
15 appurtenances thereto and the market value of the mobile home
16 as situated immediately prior to the notice of change in land
17 use. Any nationally recognized publication for valuation of
18 mobile and manufactured homes shall be used as a guide for
19 determining such value.
20 b. The homeowner will be entitled to the book value of
21 the mobile home and cash value of the appurtenances.
22 c. The homeowner will also be entitled to the
23 following portion of the difference between the book value and
24 cash value of the appurtenances and the market value of the
25 mobile home. If the homeowner has resided in the mobile home
26 at the time of notice of land use change by the park owner:
27 0 years up to 5 years........................40 percent
28 5 years up to 15 years.......................60 percent
29 15 years up to 20 years.....................80 percent
30 20 years or more............................100 percent

1 d. The homeowner who has become a resident of the park
2 within 0-5 years of the notice of change in land use shall be
3 entitled, in addition to the compensation set forth above, to
4 60 percent of the difference between the book value and the
5 market value of the mobile home.
6 e. Between the date of the appraisals referred to in
7 this subsection and the delivery of title and possession of
8 the mobile home and all appurtenances thereto to the park
9 owner, the mobile home and the appurtenances shall be
10 maintained by the homeowner in the condition existing on the
11 date of the appraisals, ordinary wear and tear excepted; or
12 3. Reach a mutually agreed to settlement between the
13 park owner and the homeowner.
14 (b) Either the mobile home owner or the park owner may
15 apply to the circuit court in the county where the mobile home
16 lot is located for purposes of selecting an appraiser to
17 determine the value of the mobile home and appurtenances or
18 for resolution of any other dispute arising under this
19 subsection.
20 (c) In any dispute in a circuit court regarding the
21 value of the mobile home as appraised pursuant to this
22 subsection, the court shall determine the amount to be
23 deposited into the registry of the court as will fully secure
24 and fully compensate the homeowner as ultimately determined by
25 the final judgment. The court shall fix the time within which
26 and the terms upon which the homeowner shall be required to
27 surrender possession and title to the park owner. The order of
28 the court shall not become effective unless the deposit of the
29 required sum is made in the registry of the court.

8 stating the facts that authorize the removal of the mobile
9 home owner and the mobile home. The park owner is entitled to
