AVONDALE MOBILE HOME PARK SITE RULES

In these rules:

• “occupier” means anyone who occupies a park home, whether under an Agreement to which the Mobile Homes Act 1983 applies or under a tenancy or other agreement.
• “you” and “your” refers to the homeowner or other occupier of a park home.
• “we” and “our” refers to the park owner.

These rules are in place to ensure acceptable standards are maintained on the park, which will be of general benefit to occupiers, and to promote and maintain community cohesion. They form part of the Agreement by which homeowners occupy the pitch in accordance with the Mobile Homes Act 1983, as amended.

None of these rules is to have retrospective effect. Accordingly:

• they are to apply only from the date on which they take effect, which is 13th February 2019:and
• no occupier who is in occupation on that date will be treated as being in breach due to circumstances which were in existence on that date and which would not have been in breach of the rules in existence before that date.

1. Children under 18 years of age are not permitted to reside on the park.

3. No cats or dogs are permitted.

4. You must not keep any pet or animal at the park home or on the pitch except those which are housed in a cage, aquarium or similar, and remain at all times within your home.

Note

The express terms of a homeowner’s agreement contain an undertaking on the part of the homeowner not to allow anything which is or becomes a nuisance, inconvenience or disturbance to other occupiers of the park and this undertaking extends to the behaviour or pets and animals.
