A. Before execution of the rental agreement the landlord or any person authorized to enter into the rental agreement shall provide the tenant with the statements of policy of the mobile home park and the date of expiration of each statement. The landlord or any successor in interest shall not delete or amend any statement of policy while it is in force.

B. The statements of policy shall be attached to the rental agreement and shall include a statement of the following:

1. The classification of the mobile home park as a family community or a housing community for older persons.

2. The period of time before any change in use is expected.

3. Any method of determining rent changes.

4. The right of first refusal on the sale of the mobile home park if any is given to the tenants and under what conditions the right may be exercised.

5. The size and other specifications of mobile homes allowed in the mobile home park including whether the mobile home must be new or used and whether it must be set at ground level or above ground level.

6. The improvements required as a condition of tenancy. If consistent with the rental agreement, the statement of policy may require improvements that the tenant will be required to furnish, install and maintain to the mobile home space being rented and that constitute permanent improvements that cannot be removed at the expiration of the rental agreement including the estimated cost of each permanent improvement. Any change in a statement of policy regarding permanent improvements does not apply to an existing tenant or to any renewal of a rental agreement by an existing tenant.

7. That insuring the mobile home is the tenant's responsibility including fire department response insurance in unincorporated areas.

C. At least sixty days before the expiration of a statement of policy, the landlord shall notify all of the tenants of any new statement of policy.
