Mobile, relocatable, manufactured homes and lifestyle resorts

![CDATA[This chapter gives an overview of the rights and obligations of park operations and seniors who live in caravan or manufactured home parks. This legislation is often used as the basis of rights and obligations of seniors living in lifestyle resorts. Mobile/relocatable homes located in residential (caravan) parks have distinctive characterises. First, homeowners own their own home but do not own the land (site) upon which their home is located but are given rights similar to a lease of land. Secondly, relocatable homes are set in densely populated communities where rules are important in ensuring an orderly and peaceable environment, the safe and comfortable enjoyment by residents of their homes and the provision and enjoyment of common facilities by all residents. Thirdly, community homeowners in the traditional caravan or relocatable home parks are particularly vulnerable and financially disadvantaged in contrast to normal homeowners. Fourthly, there are pressures for redevelopment of parks in prime coastal areas with competing interests of homeowners wanting long-term security. Legislation generally allows park closure for redevelopment subject to compensating homeowners.]]
