Mobile Home Parks for Sale in BC

The Manufactured Home Park Tenancy Act, not the standard Residential Tenancy Act — it has its own specific rules on rent increases, park rules, and eviction grounds. Review all existing tenancy agreements carefully, since these obligations transfer with the property.

If it isn't on municipal water and sewer, yes — the same requirements that apply to campgrounds apply here, under the Drinking Water Protection Act and Sewerage System Regulation, administered by the regional health authority.

Less than many buyers expect. Under the Manufactured Home Park Tenancy Act, rent cannot be raised within 12 months of the last increase, a landlord must give at least 3 months' notice in the approved form, and the amount is limited by the regulations unless the tenant agrees in writing or the director approves. Ask for the full rent-increase history and model the income on the permitted amounts.

Only within tight limits. The Act lets a landlord end tenancies to convert a park to another use if the necessary permits and approvals are in place and the landlord acts in good faith. Tenants must be given at least 12 months' notice, can dispute the notice, and the landlord must pay prescribed compensation. Do not price the park on redevelopment value without legal advice and municipal confirmation.

Park rules are set by the landlord or a park committee, but they must not be inconsistent with the Act or its regulations. Landlords and tenants can apply for dispute resolution through the provincial process under the Act. Ask the seller for the current rules, any past disputes and decisions, and confirm with a lawyer which rules and terms you would inherit.
