Owning a manufactured home but renting the lot under it puts a resident in an unusual spot. Moving the home is expensive and sometimes impossible, so a lot rent increase hits harder than an apartment rent increase. Many states respond with a separate mobile home park or manufactured housing act that requires longer written notice before lot rent goes up, and some add limits on how often it can rise.
In our data, 33 jurisdictions set a specific notice period for a lot rent increase. 14 require 90 days or more, which is longer than the notice most states require for apartments, and 11 require 60 days. 7 jurisdictions have no mobile-home-specific notice rule, so the general landlord-tenant law or the lot lease controls. A few states attach conditions, such as allowing increases only at renewal or requiring the notice to explain a mediation option.
The table lists the notice period and the rule for each state, linked to the statute. Some cities and counties also regulate mobile home park rents, so check local rules as well.

How we compiled this
We checked every rule on this page against the statute itself in November 2026, reading each state’s own code site or an official state guide such as an attorney general’s tenant handbook. A cell shows a rule only when we confirmed it against one of those primary sources. Where we could not confirm a rule, the cell says “Not yet verified” and links the statute so you can read it yourself. Simplified table entries leave out exceptions, so read the linked statute before you rely on a number.
Laws change. Legislatures amend these sections often, and cities and counties can add their own rules on top of state law. Confirm the current text of the statute, or ask a local legal aid office, before you act on a deadline.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much notice does a mobile home park need to give before raising lot rent?
It depends on the state. 14 jurisdictions require 90 days or more and 11 require 60 days. Where no park-specific rule exists, general landlord-tenant notice rules or the lease apply.
Is there a limit on how much lot rent can go up?
Usually not at the state level, though a few states and a number of cities regulate park rents. The Rule column notes state limits where our sources describe them.
Can the park raise my rent in the middle of my lot lease?
Several states allow lot rent increases only at the end or renewal of the rental agreement. Read your lease and the rule for your state.
Do apartment tenant laws apply to mobile home lot renters?
Sometimes. In states without a park act, the general landlord-tenant law may cover lot rentals, while other states exclude them. See mobile home park rights.
What can residents do about a large increase?
Check that the notice met the state’s timing and content rules, talk with other residents, and use any mediation process the state provides. Some states give resident associations specific rights.
