A manufactured-home park tenancy is split ownership: the homeowner owns the home and rents the space it sits on. Two documents usually govern it at once — the space rental agreement and the park rules — and a read that uses only one will miss half the terms. This guide surfaces, in plain language and only from those documents, who the customer is in the documents’ own terms, the termination grounds and notice sequence as written, space rent and every pass-through charge line by line, the rent-increase notice the agreement itself promises, what the park rules say about resale, guests, pets, and space maintenance, and whether those rules are part of the agreement as written. LeaseLens quotes the documents, flags what is stated and what is silent, and never rules on them.
The pack checklist for a manufactured-home park review, in order. The papers are the signed space rental agreement and the park rules together — plus any written rent, utility, service-charge, or fee schedule. The review never states a rule from any summary as your documents’ rule.
Who the documents describe: a homeowner renting a space, or a renter of a park-owned home. The answer changes which framework the rest of the read follows, so it is flagged first — and when the documents do not make it clear, the review says it cannot tell, never guesses.
The listed grounds on which the agreement says the park can end the tenancy, the notice period stated for each, any cure window stated, and who else — lienholders or a registered owner — the agreement says gets a copy. Each is flagged as stated or silent, never ruled on.
Space rent, utilities, and service charges as named, every pass-through fee and whether it is billed separately from rent as the agreement describes, and any registration-program fee line. Each charge is flagged as stated or silent, never as lawful or unlawful.
The increase-notice period the agreement itself states, and any cap it states. Silence on an increase-notice period is flagged as silence — never filled in. Any local rent-stabilisation overlay is noted only as may exist — not determined here.
Whether the park rules are incorporated into the rental agreement, how the agreement says rules can change, and the rules on guests, pets, maintenance of the space, and home standards as written. A rule that lives only in a document you were never given is flagged as not held.
Buyer-approval wording, disclosure of outstanding charges on a sale, and any home-age or registration conditions the documents mention. Approval wording is quoted as written — the review never predicts whether a particular buyer will be approved or refused.
This example is a clearly labelled hypothetical, with invented papers and figures. It shows how the two documents’ own figures and silences are laid out — it is not a real person, park, home, or agreement, and it proves nothing about any real tenancy, charge, or outcome:
Treat each point below as a “check whether…” question, never as a conclusion about papers you have not read in full:
Check whether the agreement, on its face, describes a homeowner renting a space or a renter of a park-owned home — or whether it does not say clearly. A read that skips this step can use the wrong framework for everything after it.
Check whether the listed grounds, the notice period for each, any cure window, and any copy to a lienholder or registered owner are all in the agreement — or whether any of them is missing. Each missing piece is a question to raise in writing, never a ground or a clock this review supplies.
Check whether space rent, utilities, service charges, every pass-through fee, and any registration-program fee are each stated, whether pass-throughs are billed separately as written, and whether a rent-increase notice period is stated in the agreement itself. Silence is flagged as silence.
Check whether the park rules are incorporated into the agreement, how rules can change as written, and whether buyer-approval, outstanding-charge disclosure, and any home-age or registration conditions are in the documents. A rule or condition described only in general words is flagged, not completed by this review.
Copy these into an email or message so the answers are in writing. Calm and factual — no threats, no demand-letter language. Ask in your own name.

A first read only: no legality determination, no demand letter or filing, no negotiation, and no park contact.
LeaseLens is not a law firm and this is not legal advice. Reports are plain-English risk flags from a concierge review, not a legal ruling on an agreement, a notice, a charge, or a sale.
Start a review →No. LeaseLens makes no legality determination and no promise about any outcome. The review surfaces classification, termination grounds and notice, charges, and resale wording as written in your two documents, as questions to check. If you face a termination notice now, contact a local tenant-help service, legal-aid organisation, housing agency, or an attorney first.
Both documents together: the signed space rental agreement and the park rules, plus any written rent, utility, service-charge, or fee schedule. One document without the other cannot be checked.
