785 shall be in accordance with ss. 723.033 and 723.037 or s.
786 723.059(4), whichever is applicable;, provided that, pursuant to
787 s. 723.059(4), the amount of the lot rental increase is
788 disclosed and agreed to by the purchaser, in writing. An
789 increase in lot rental amount shall not be arbitrary or
790 discriminatory between similarly situated tenants in the park. A
791 lot rental amount may not be increased during the term of the
792 lot rental agreement, except:
793 (a) When the manner of the increase is disclosed in a lot
794 rental agreement with a term exceeding 12 months and which

800 mobile home park owner may pass on, at any time during the term
801 of the lot rental agreement, ad valorem property taxes, non-ad
802 valorem assessments, and utility charges, or increases of
803 either, provided that the ad valorem property taxes, non-ad
804 valorem assessments, and utility charges are not otherwise being

807 valorem assessments, or utility charges, or increases of either,
808 was disclosed prior to tenancy, was being passed on as a matter
809 of custom between the mobile home park owner and the mobile home
810 owner, or such passing on was authorized by law. A park owner is
811 deemed to have disclosed the passing on of ad valorem property
812 taxes and non-ad valorem assessments if ad valorem property
813 taxes or non-ad valorem assessments were disclosed as a separate
814 charge or a factor for increasing the lot rental amount in the
815 prospectus or rental agreement. Such ad valorem taxes, non-ad
816 valorem assessments, and utility charges shall be a part of the
817 lot rental amount as defined by this chapter. The term “non-ad
818 valorem assessments” has the same meaning as provided in s.
819 197.3632(1)(d). Other provisions of this chapter
820 notwithstanding, pass-on charges may be passed on only within 1
821 year of the date a mobile home park owner remits payment of the
822 charge. A mobile home park owner is prohibited from passing on
823 any fine, interest, fee, or increase in a charge resulting from
824 a park owner’s payment of the charge after the date such charges
825 become delinquent. A mobile home park owner is prohibited from
826 charging or collecting from the mobile home owners any sum for
827 ad valorem taxes or non-ad valorem tax charges in an amount in
828 excess of the sums remitted by the park owner to the tax
829 collector. Nothing herein shall prohibit a park owner and a
830 homeowner from mutually agreeing to an alternative manner of
831 payment to the park owner of the charges.
832 (d) If a notice of increase in lot rental amount is not
833 given 90 days before the renewal date of the rental agreement,
834 the rental agreement must remain under the same terms until a
835 90-day notice of increase in lot rental amount is given. The
836 notice may provide for a rental term shorter than 1 year in
837 order to maintain the same renewal date.
838 Section 22. Subsection (1) and paragraph (a) of subsection
839 (4) of section 723.037, Florida Statutes, are amended to read:

843 mobile home owner and the board of directors of the homeowners’
844 association, if one has been formed, at least 90 days before any
845 increase in lot rental amount or reduction in services or
846 utilities provided by the park owner or change in rules and
847 regulations. The park owner may give notice of all increases in
848 lot rental amount for multiple anniversary dates in the same 90
849 day notice. The notice must shall identify all other affected
850 homeowners, which may be by lot number, name, group, or phase.
851 If the affected homeowners are not identified by name, the park
852 owner shall make the names and addresses available upon request.
853 However, this requirement does not authorize the release of the
854 names, addresses, or other private information about the
855 homeowners to the association or any other person for any other
856 purpose. The home owner’s right to the 90-day notice may not be
857 waived or precluded by a home owner, or the homeowners’
858 committee, in an agreement with the park owner. Rules adopted as
859 a result of restrictions imposed by governmental entities and
860 required to protect the public health, safety, and welfare may
861 be enforced prior to the expiration of the 90-day period but are
862 not otherwise exempt from the requirements of this chapter.
863 Pass-through charges must be separately listed as to the amount
864 of the charge, the name of the governmental entity mandating the
865 capital improvement, and the nature or type of the pass-through
866 charge being levied. Notices of increase in the lot rental
867 amount due to a pass-through charge must shall state the
868 additional payment and starting and ending dates of each pass
869 through charge. The homeowners’ association shall have no
870 standing to challenge the increase in lot rental amount,
871 reduction in services or utilities, or change of rules and
872 regulations unless a majority of the affected homeowners agree,
873 in writing, to such representation.
874 (4)(a) A committee, not to exceed five in number,
875 designated by a majority of the affected mobile home owners or
876 by the board of directors of the homeowners’ association, if
877 applicable, and the park owner shall meet, at a mutually
878 convenient time and place no later than 60 days before the
879 effective date of the change to discuss the reasons for the
880 increase in lot rental amount, reduction in services or
881 utilities, or change in rules and regulations. The negotiating
882 committee shall make a written request for a meeting with the
883 park owner or subdivision developer to discuss those matters
884 addressed in the 90-day notice, and may include in the request a
885 listing of any other issue, with supporting documentation, that
886 the committee intends to raise and discuss at the meeting. The
887 committee shall address all lot rental amount increases that are
888 specified in the notice of lot rental amount increase,
889 regardless of the effective date of the increase.
890
891 This subsection is not intended to be enforced by civil or
892 administrative action. Rather, the meetings and discussions are
893 intended to be in the nature of settlement discussions prior to
894 the parties proceeding to mediation of any dispute.

901 site with the same density as was approved, permitted, and built
902 before the park was damaged or destroyed.
903 (6) This section does not limit the regulation of the
904 uniform firesafety standards established under s. 633.206, but
905 supersedes any other density, separation, setback, or lot size
906 regulation adopted after initial permitting and construction of
907 the mobile home park.
908 Section 24. Section 723.042, Florida Statutes, is amended
909 to read:

915 park.
916 Section 25. Section 723.059, Florida Statutes, is amended
917 to read:
918 723.059 Rights of Purchaser of a mobile home within a
919 mobile home park.—
920 (1) The purchaser of a mobile home within a mobile home
921 park may become a tenant of the park if such purchaser would
922 otherwise qualify with the requirements of entry into the park
923 under the park rules and regulations, subject to the approval of
924 the park owner, but such approval may not be unreasonably
925 withheld. The purchaser of the mobile home may cancel or rescind
926 the contract for purchase of the mobile home if the purchaser’s
927 tenancy has not been approved by the park owner 5 days before
928 the closing of the purchase.
929 (2) Properly promulgated rules may provide for the
930 screening of any prospective purchaser to determine whether or

937 prospectus. However, nothing herein shall prohibit a mobile home
938 park owner from offering the purchaser of a mobile home any
939 approved prospectus shall be entitled to rely on the terms and
940 conditions of the prospectus or offering circular as delivered
941 to the initial recipient.
942 (4) However, nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit
943 a mobile home park owner from increasing the rental amount to be
944 paid by the purchaser upon the expiration of the assumed rental
945 agreement in an amount deemed appropriate by the mobile home
946 park owner, so long as such increase is disclosed to the
947 purchaser prior to his or her occupancy and is imposed in a
948 manner consistent with the purchaser’s initial offering circular
949 or prospectus and this act.
950 (5) Lifetime leases and the renewal provisions in
951 automatically renewable leases, both those existing and those
952 entered into after July 1, 1986, are not assumable unless
953 otherwise provided in the mobile home lot rental agreement or
954 unless the transferee is the home owner’s spouse. The right to
955 an assumption of the lease by a spouse may be exercised only one
956 time during the term of that lease.
