PARK RULES FOR MONTANA PARK HOMES
Preface
In these rules:
- "Occupier" means anyone who occupies a park home, whether under an Agreement to which the Mobile Homes (Wales) Act 2013 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 (Wales) Act 2014.
With one exception the rules also apply to any occupiers of park homes who rent their home. The only rule which does not apply in this case is Rule Number 36 about the colour of the exterior of the home, as someone renting their home would not be responsible for exterior maintenance.
These rules also apply (for so long as they live on the park) to the park owner and any employees, with the exception of Rule Number 17.
They are to apply only from the date on which they take effect , 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.
Mobile Homes
- Where originally manufactured according to B53632, homes must be kept and maintained so as to continue to com ply.

- Private gardens must be kept in a neat and tidy condition.
- Washing lines are to be reasonably screened from public view and to be of a rotary type.

The separation space is the space between your park home and the neighbouring home.

- You are responsible for the disposal of all household, recyclable and garden waste in approved containers through the local authority service. You must not overfill containers and must place them in the approved position for the local authority collections on the appropriate day and return them to the regular storage position within the bounds of your plot.

- Not more than 1 dog (other than any of the breeds subject to the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 which are not permitted at all). You must keep any dog under proper control and you must not permit it to frighten or cause a nuisance to other users of the park .

- Nothing in Rule Numbers 20 and 21 of these Park Rules prevents you from keeping an assistance dog if this is required to support your disability and Assistance Dogs UK or any successor body has issued you with an Identification Book or other appropriate evidence.
Note 1:
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 at the park and this undertaking extends to the behaviour of pets and animals. A similar requirement not to cause a nuisance applies to tenants and again this includes the behaviour of pets and animals.
Note 2:
These rules do not have retrospective effect. If the keeping of the pet complied with the previous rules, an occupier will not be treated as being in breach when these rules take effect. However, when the pet dies or leaves it can only be replaced if this would comply with these rules.
Water
