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 any 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. The Park Owners sincerely desire that everyone shall live on the park comfortably. It is with the cooperation of everyone in respecting these rules that this can be possible.

With one exception the rules also apply to any occupiers of park homes who rent their home. The only rule which does not apply to occupiers who rent their home is rule 36 about the colour of the exterior of the home, as someone renting their home would not be responsible for exterior maintenance.

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

• they are to apply only from the date on which they take effect
• 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 a breach of the rules in existence before that date.

Please note the following rules are in addition to the Implied and Express terms which were updated in the 2013 amendment of the 1983 Mobile home Act and form part of your Written Statement. Therefore some rules that were on the old Park Rules sheet are now covered in the express terms of agreement. They have not been removed.
