RESIDENTIAL PARK RULES FOR EVERGREEN PARK

Introduction

In these rules:

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

The following rules are in place for the good management of the park and the benefit of all who use it. These rules form part of the Agreement by which you occupy your pitch in accordance with the Mobile Homes Act 1983 (as amended).

The rules are designed to ensure that all the park home residents may live peacefully in unspoilt surroundings and have not been compiled to place unnecessary restrictions on residents. We are sure that, provided the rules are accepted in the right spirit, our park will continue to be a happy community.

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 [date to be confirmed]; 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 a breach of the rules in existence before that date.

The park owner, their family and employees (for so long as they live on the park) are exempt from these park rules.
