SITE RULES FOR HOLLYHURST MOBILE HOME PARK

 ("the Park")

The following Site Rules are intended to ensure that acceptable standards are maintained on the Park for the benefit of residents generally, and to promote and maintain community cohesion on the Park.

These Rules form part of the terms of the occupation agreement under the Mobile Homes Act 1983 (as amended) between the Park owner and each resident living on the Park, and must be followed to ensure that good order is maintained on the Park at all times for the benefit of all occupiers.

Introduction

These rules will not have retrospective effect, meaning that they will only apply from the date on which they take effect. No occupier who is in occupation on that date will be in breach of these rules by reason of any circumstances known to the Park owner which were in existence on that date and which would not have been a breach of the previous Park rules.

With the exception of rules 20, 22, 26 and 40, these rules also apply to the Park owners, any employees of the Park owners, or any family members of the Park owners or their employees, where such persons live on the Park.

These rules are designed to ensure that all may live peacefully in unspoilt surroundings, and are not intended to place unnecessary restrictions on occupiers. We are sure that, provided the rules are followed in the right spirit, the Park will continue to be a happy community.

Definitions
