         1.  The landlord shall:
         a.  Comply with the requirements of all applicable city,
      county and state codes materially affecting health and safety which
      are primarily imposed upon the landlord.
         b.  Make all repairs and do whatever is necessary to put and
      keep the mobile home space in a fit and habitable condition.
         c.  Keep all common areas of the manufactured home community
      or mobile home park in a clean and safe condition.
         d.  Maintain in good and safe working order and condition all
      facilities supplied or required to be supplied by the landlord.
         e.  Provide for removal of garbage, rubbish, and other waste
      from the manufactured home community or mobile home park.
         f.  Furnish outlets for electric, water and sewer services.
         2.  A landlord shall not impose any conditions of rental or
      occupancy which restrict the tenant in the choice of a seller of
      fuel, furnishings, goods, services or mobile homes connected with the
      rental or occupancy of a mobile home space unless such condition is
      necessary to protect the health, safety, aesthetic value or welfare
      of mobile home tenants in the manufactured home community or park.
      The landlord may impose reasonable requirements designed to
      standardize methods of utility connection and hookup.  If any such
      conditions are imposed which result in charges for such goods or
      services, the charges shall not exceed the actual cost incurred in
      providing the tenant with such goods or services.
