(1) An invitee of a mobile home owner, or a live-in health care aide as provided for in the federal Fair Housing Act, must have ingress and egress to and from the mobile home owner’s site without the mobile home owner, live-in health care aide, or invitee being required to pay additional rent, a fee, or any charge whatsoever, except that the mobile home owner must pay the cost of a background check for the live-in health care aide if one is required. Any mobile home park rule or regulation providing for fees or charges contrary to the terms of this section is void. The live-in health care aide does not have any rights of tenancy in the mobile home park, and the mobile home owner must notify the park owner or park manager of the name of the live-in health care aide and provide the information required to have the background check, if one is necessary. The mobile home owner has the responsibility to remove the live-in health care aide should it become necessary and to cover the costs associated with such removal.
(2) All guests, family members, or invitees are required to abide by properly promulgated rules and regulations.
(3) For the purposes of this section, an “invitee” is defined as a person whose stay at the request of a mobile home owner does not exceed 15 consecutive days or 30 total days per year, unless such person has the permission of the park owner or unless permitted by a properly promulgated rule or regulation. The spouse of a mobile home owner shall not be considered an invitee.
