  760         (e) A general description of the days and hours that
  761  facilities will be available for use.
  762         (f) A statement as to whether all improvements are complete
  763  and, if not, their estimated completion dates.
  764  
  765  If a mobile home park owner intends to include additional
  766  property and mobile home lots and to increase the number of lots
  767  that will use the shared facilities of the park, the mobile home
  768  park owner must amend the prospectus to disclose such additions.
  769  If the number of mobile home lots in the park increases by more
  770  than 15 percent of the total number of lots in the original
  771  prospectus, the mobile home park owner must reasonably offset
  772  the impact of the additional lots by increasing the shared
  773  facilities. The amendment to the prospectus must include a
  774  reasonable timeframe for providing the required additional
  775  shared facilities. The costs and expenses necessary to increase
  776  the shared facilities may not be passed on or passed through to
  777  the existing mobile home owners.
  778         Section 21. Section 723.023, Florida Statutes, is amended
  779  to read:
  780         723.023 Mobile home owner’s general obligations.—A mobile
  781  home owner shall at all times:
  782         (1) At all times comply with all obligations imposed on
  783  mobile home owners by applicable provisions of building,
  784  housing, and health codes, including compliance with all
  785  building permits and construction requirements for construction
  786  on the mobile home and lot. The home owner is responsible for
  787  all fines imposed by the local government for noncompliance with
  788  any local codes.
  789         (2) At all times keep the mobile home lot that which he or
  790  she occupies clean, neat, and sanitary, and maintained in
  791  compliance with all local codes.
  792         (3) At all times comply with properly promulgated park
  793  rules and regulations and require other persons on the premises
  794  with his or her consent to comply with such rules and to conduct
  795  themselves, and other persons on the premises with his or her
  796  consent, in a manner that does not unreasonably disturb other
  797  residents of the park or constitute a breach of the peace.
  798         (4)Receive written approval from the mobile home park
  799  owner before making any exterior modification or addition to the
  800  home.
  801         (5)When vacating the premises, remove any debris and other
  802  property of any kind which is left on the mobile home lot.
  803         Section 22. Subsection (5) of section 723.031, Florida
  804  Statutes, is amended to read:
  805         723.031 Mobile home lot rental agreements.—
  806         (5) The rental agreement must shall contain the lot rental
  807  amount and services included. An increase in lot rental amount
  808  upon expiration of the term of the lot rental agreement must
  809  shall be in accordance with ss. 723.033 and 723.037 or s.
  810  723.059(4), whichever is applicable;, provided that, pursuant to
  811  s. 723.059(4), the amount of the lot rental increase is
  812  disclosed and agreed to by the purchaser, in writing. An
  813  increase in lot rental amount shall not be arbitrary or
  814  discriminatory between similarly situated tenants in the park. A
  815  lot rental amount may not be increased during the term of the
  816  lot rental agreement, except:
  817         (a) When the manner of the increase is disclosed in a lot
  818  rental agreement with a term exceeding 12 months and which
  819  provides for such increases not more frequently than annually.
  820         (b) For pass-through charges as defined in s. 723.003.
  821         (c) That a charge may not be collected which results in
  822  payment of money for sums previously collected as part of the
  823  lot rental amount. The provisions hereof notwithstanding, the
  824  mobile home park owner may pass on, at any time during the term
  825  of the lot rental agreement, ad valorem property taxes, non-ad
  826  valorem assessments, and utility charges, or increases of
  827  either, provided that the ad valorem property taxes, non-ad
  828  valorem assessments, and utility charges are not otherwise being
  829  collected in the remainder of the lot rental amount and provided
  830  further that the passing on of such ad valorem taxes, non-ad
  831  valorem assessments, or utility charges, or increases of either,
  832  was disclosed prior to tenancy, was being passed on as a matter
  833  of custom between the mobile home park owner and the mobile home
  834  owner, or such passing on was authorized by law. A park owner is
  835  deemed to have disclosed the passing on of ad valorem property
  836  taxes and non-ad valorem assessments if ad valorem property
  837  taxes or non-ad valorem assessments were disclosed as a separate
  838  charge or a factor for increasing the lot rental amount in the
  839  prospectus or rental agreement. Such ad valorem taxes, non-ad
  840  valorem assessments, and utility charges shall be a part of the
  841  lot rental amount as defined by this chapter. The term “non-ad
  842  valorem assessments” has the same meaning as provided in s.
  843  197.3632(1)(d). Other provisions of this chapter
  844  notwithstanding, pass-on charges may be passed on only within 1
  845  year of the date a mobile home park owner remits payment of the
  846  charge. A mobile home park owner is prohibited from passing on
  847  any fine, interest, fee, or increase in a charge resulting from
  848  a park owner’s payment of the charge after the date such charges
  849  become delinquent. A mobile home park owner is prohibited from
  850  charging or collecting from the mobile home owners any sum for
  851  ad valorem taxes or non-ad valorem tax charges in an amount in
  852  excess of the sums remitted by the park owner to the tax
  853  collector. Nothing herein shall prohibit a park owner and a
  854  homeowner from mutually agreeing to an alternative manner of
  855  payment to the park owner of the charges.
  856         (d) If a notice of increase in lot rental amount is not
  857  given 90 days before the renewal date of the rental agreement,
  858  the rental agreement must remain under the same terms until a
  859  90-day notice of increase in lot rental amount is given. The
  860  notice may provide for a rental term shorter than 1 year in
  861  order to maintain the same renewal date.
  862         Section 23. Subsection (1) and paragraph (a) of subsection
  863  (4) of section 723.037, Florida Statutes, are amended to read:
  864         723.037 Lot rental increases; reduction in services or
  865  utilities; change in rules and regulations; mediation.—
  866         (1) A park owner shall give written notice to each affected
  867  mobile home owner and the board of directors of the homeowners’
  868  association, if one has been formed, at least 90 days before any
  869  increase in lot rental amount or reduction in services or
  870  utilities provided by the park owner or change in rules and
  871  regulations. The park owner may give notice of all increases in
  872  lot rental amount for multiple anniversary dates in the same 90
  873  day notice. The notice must shall identify all other affected
  874  homeowners, which may be by lot number, name, group, or phase.
  875  If the affected homeowners are not identified by name, the park
  876  owner shall make the names and addresses available upon request.
  877  However, this requirement does not authorize the release of the
  878  names, addresses, or other private information about the
  879  homeowners to the association or any other person for any other
  880  purpose. The home owner’s right to the 90-day notice may not be
  881  waived or precluded by a home owner, or the homeowners’
  882  committee, in an agreement with the park owner. Rules adopted as
  883  a result of restrictions imposed by governmental entities and
  884  required to protect the public health, safety, and welfare may
  885  be enforced prior to the expiration of the 90-day period but are
  886  not otherwise exempt from the requirements of this chapter.
  887  Pass-through charges must be separately listed as to the amount
  888  of the charge, the name of the governmental entity mandating the
  889  capital improvement, and the nature or type of the pass-through
  890  charge being levied. Notices of increase in the lot rental
  891  amount due to a pass-through charge must shall state the
  892  additional payment and starting and ending dates of each pass
  893  through charge. The homeowners’ association shall have no
  894  standing to challenge the increase in lot rental amount,
  895  reduction in services or utilities, or change of rules and
  896  regulations unless a majority of the affected homeowners agree,
  897  in writing, to such representation.
  898         (4)(a) A committee, not to exceed five in number,
  899  designated by a majority of the affected mobile home owners or
  900  by the board of directors of the homeowners’ association, if
  901  applicable, and the park owner shall meet, at a mutually
  902  convenient time and place no later than 60 days before the
  903  effective date of the change to discuss the reasons for the
  904  increase in lot rental amount, reduction in services or
  905  utilities, or change in rules and regulations. The negotiating
  906  committee shall make a written request for a meeting with the
  907  park owner or subdivision developer to discuss those matters
  908  addressed in the 90-day notice, and may include in the request a
  909  listing of any other issue, with supporting documentation, that
  910  the committee intends to raise and discuss at the meeting. The
  911  committee shall address all lot rental amount increases that are
  912  specified in the notice of lot rental amount increase,
  913  regardless of the effective date of the increase.
  914  
  915  This subsection is not intended to be enforced by civil or
  916  administrative action. Rather, the meetings and discussions are
  917  intended to be in the nature of settlement discussions prior to
  918  the parties proceeding to mediation of any dispute.
  919         Section 24. Subsections (5) and (6) are added to section
  920  723.041, Florida Statutes, to read:
  921         723.041 Entrance fees; refunds; exit fees prohibited;
  922  replacement homes.—
  923         (5) A mobile home park that is damaged or destroyed due to
  924  wind, water, or other natural force may be rebuilt on the same
  925  site with the same density as was approved, permitted, and built
  926  before the park was damaged or destroyed.
  927         (6) This section does not limit the regulation of the
  928  uniform firesafety standards established under s. 633.206, but
  929  supersedes any other density, separation, setback, or lot size
  930  regulation adopted after initial permitting and construction of
  931  the mobile home park.
  932         Section 25. Section 723.042, Florida Statutes, is amended
  933  to read:
  934         723.042 Provision of improvements.—A No person may not
  935  shall be required by a mobile home park owner or developer, as a
  936  condition of residence in the mobile home park, to provide any
  937  improvement unless the requirement is disclosed pursuant to s.
  938  723.012(7) s. 723.011 prior to occupancy in the mobile home
  939  park.
  940         Section 26. Section 723.059, Florida Statutes, is amended
  941  to read:
  942         723.059 Rights of Purchaser of a mobile home within a
  943  mobile home park.—
  944         (1) The purchaser of a mobile home within a mobile home
  945  park may become a tenant of the park if such purchaser would
  946  otherwise qualify with the requirements of entry into the park
  947  under the park rules and regulations, subject to the approval of
  948  the park owner, but such approval may not be unreasonably
  949  withheld. The purchaser of the mobile home may cancel or rescind
  950  the contract for purchase of the mobile home if the purchaser’s
  951  tenancy has not been approved by the park owner 5 days before
  952  the closing of the purchase.
  953         (2) Properly promulgated rules may provide for the
  954  screening of any prospective purchaser to determine whether or
  955  not such purchaser is qualified to become a tenant of the park.
  956         (3) The purchaser of a mobile home who intends to become
  957  becomes a resident of the mobile home park in accordance with
  958  this section has the right to assume the remainder of the term
  959  of any rental agreement then in effect between the mobile home
  960  park owner and the seller and may assume the seller’s
  961  prospectus. However, nothing herein shall prohibit a mobile home
  962  park owner from offering the purchaser of a mobile home any
  963  approved prospectus shall be entitled to rely on the terms and
  964  conditions of the prospectus or offering circular as delivered
  965  to the initial recipient.
  966         (4) However, nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit
  967  a mobile home park owner from increasing the rental amount to be
  968  paid by the purchaser upon the expiration of the assumed rental
  969  agreement in an amount deemed appropriate by the mobile home
  970  park owner, so long as such increase is disclosed to the
  971  purchaser prior to his or her occupancy and is imposed in a
  972  manner consistent with the purchaser’s initial offering circular
  973  or prospectus and this act.
  974         (5) Lifetime leases and the renewal provisions in
  975  automatically renewable leases, both those existing and those
  976  entered into after July 1, 1986, are not assumable unless
  977  otherwise provided in the mobile home lot rental agreement or
  978  unless the transferee is the home owner’s spouse. The right to
  979  an assumption of the lease by a spouse may be exercised only one
  980  time during the term of that lease.
  981         Section 27. Paragraph (d) of subsection (1) of section
  982  723.061, Florida Statutes, is amended, and subsection (5) is
  983  added to that section, to read:
  984         723.061 Eviction; grounds, proceedings.—
  985         (1) A mobile home park owner may evict a mobile home owner,
  986  a mobile home tenant, a mobile home occupant, or a mobile home
  987  only on one or more of the following grounds:
  988         (d) Change in use of the land comprising the mobile home
  989  park, or the portion thereof from which mobile homes are to be
  990  evicted, from mobile home lot rentals to some other use, if:
  991         1. The park owner gives written notice to the homeowners’
  992  association formed and operating under ss. 723.075-723.079 of
  993  its right to purchase the mobile home park, if the land
  994  comprising the mobile home park is changing use from mobile home
  995  lot rentals to a different use, at the price and under the terms
  996  and conditions set forth in the written notice.
  997         a. The notice shall be delivered to the officers of the

 1001  to purchase the mobile home park at the price and under the
 1002  terms and conditions set forth in the notice. If the contract
 1003  between the park owner and the homeowners’ association is not
 1004  executed and delivered to the park owner within the 45-day
 1005  period, the park owner is under no further obligation to the
 1006  homeowners’ association except as provided in sub-subparagraph

 1008         b. If the park owner elects to offer or sell the mobile

 1013  park owner by executing and delivering a revised contract to the
 1014  park owner.
 1015         c. The park owner is not obligated under this subparagraph
 1016  or s. 723.071 to give any other notice to, or to further

 1018  mobile home park to the homeowners’ association after 6 months
 1019  after the date of the mailing of the initial notice under sub
 1020  subparagraph a.
 1021         2. The park owner gives the affected mobile home owners and
 1022  tenants at least 6 months’ notice of the eviction due to the
 1023  projected change in use and of their need to secure other
 1024  accommodations. Within 20 days after giving an eviction notice
 1025  to a mobile home owner, the park owner must provide the division
 1026  with a copy of the notice. The division must provide the
 1027  executive director of the Florida Mobile Home Relocation
 1028  Corporation with a copy of the notice.
 1029         a. The notice of eviction due to a change in use of the

 1038  
 1039         b. The park owner may not give a notice of increase in lot
 1040  rental amount within 90 days before giving notice of a change in
 1041  use.
 1042         (5)A park owner who accepts payment of any portion of the
 1043  lot rental amount with actual knowledge of noncompliance after
 1044  notice and termination of the rental agreement due to a
 1045  violation under paragraph (1)(b), paragraph (1)(c), or paragraph
 1046  (1)(e) does not waive the right to terminate the rental
 1047  agreement or the right to bring a civil action for the
 1048  noncompliance, but not for any subsequent or continuing
 1049  noncompliance. Any rent so received must be accounted for at the
 1050  final hearing.
 1051         Section 28. Subsection (1) of section 723.076, Florida
 1052  Statutes, is amended to read:
 1053         723.076 Incorporation; notification of park owner.—

 1056  of such incorporation and shall advise the park owner of the
 1057  names and addresses of the officers of the homeowners’
 1058  association by personal delivery upon the park owner’s

 1063  addresses of its president or registered agent. Upon election or
 1064  appointment of new officers or board members, the homeowners’
