Title 38 - Property - Real And Personal
Article 12. Tenants and Landlords
Section 38-12-1102. Legislative declaration.
(1) The general assembly hereby finds and declares that:
There are factors unique to the relationship between mobile home owners and mobilehome park landlords;
Once occupancy has commenced, a mobile home owner may be subject to violationsof the "Mobile Home Park Act", part 2 of this article 12, without an adequate remedy at law because the difficulty and expense in moving and relocating a mobile home can affect the operation of market forces and lead to an inequality of the bargaining position of the parties;
Taking legal action against a mobile home park landlord for violations of the "Mobile Home Park Act" can be a costly and lengthy process, and many mobile home owners cannot afford to pursue a court process to vindicate statutory rights. Mobile home park landlords will also benefit by having access to a process that resolves disputes quickly and efficiently.
(2) Therefore, it is the intent of the general assembly to provide an equitable as well as a less costly and more efficient way for mobile home owners and mobile home park landlords to resolve disputes, and to provide a mechanism for state authorities to quickly locate mobile home park landlords.
