Welcome to Linkshire Mobile Home & RV Park. To ensure a safe and pleasant environment for all residents, we have established the following rules and regulations. These guidelines help maintain community standards and protect the well-being of all tenants, occupants, and guests.
1. INTRODUCTION. The purpose of these Rules and Regulations is to promote the convenience, health, safety, or welfare of the tenants of the community and protect and preserve community premises from abusive use. The Rules and Regulations establish the rights and duties of Tenants and the Landlord. The Rules and Regulations shall apply to all Tenants, occupants, and guests.
2. COMMUNITY STANDARDS. All manufactured homes accepted in the Community must be approved in structure, aesthetics, architectural quality, appearance, and design to ensure continuity and conformity. All manufactured homes, accessories, exterior structural improvements, construction, or changes in the lot must comply with health, safety, and construction codes and government standards and must be approved in writing by the Park Management prior to commencing installation.
3. IMPROVEMENTS. Upon termination of Tenant’s tenancy for any reason, Park Management may, at its sole option, require Tenant to remove, at Tenant’s own expense, all landscaping and structures or other improvements permanently attached to or embedded in the ground. Tenant shall repair any damage to the Lot caused by the removal, including, but not limited to, the filling in and leveling of holes or depressions, and shall leave the Lot in a neat, uncluttered condition with the Park’s original engineered grade intact.
4. BUILDING STANDARDS. No home, carport, storage shed, patio, landscaping, fencing, exterior lighting or other improvement of any kind shall be placed on or made to a Lot in the Community unless prior to doing so Park Management shall have given its written approval to do so. Prior to commencing installation of, or a change in, accessory equipment and structures, or installation of, or a change in, any appliance which is connected to the gas, electric, or water supply, Tenant shall submit, for Management’s approval, a written plan describing in detail the accessory equipment, structure, or appliance which Tenant proposes to install or exchange. Tenant must discuss Tenant’s plans for accessory equipment and structures with Park Management prior to preparing the written plan for Management’s approval. Any accessory equipment, structure, or appliance installed or exchanged which does not conform to the Park’s residency documents shall be removed by Tenant within twenty (20) days of receipt of written notice. NO IMPROVEMENTS shall be approved by Management which fail to conform to the following minimum standards.
A. STYLE. Each home shall have a pitched roof with asphalt or composite shingles; siding shall be hardboard horizontal lap siding or other residential house siding which shall be approved in writing by Park Management.
B. ACCESSORY STRUCTURES. Park Management requires that awnings, porch, garage, steps, and skirting be added. The installation of all required appliances, accessory equipment and structures on Tenant’s manufactured home shall be completed within sixty (60) days of the date that the Tenant signs the rental agreement or first occupies the manufactured home, whichever is earlier. Any concrete or asphalt driveway, covered parking for one car, storage shed, or locker installed on a tenant’s lot must be pre-approved by Management, and paid for and maintained by Tenant. The roof color, siding materials, and general architectural style for any shed, carport cover or patio cover shall match the color, materials and style of the manufactured home.
C. FOUNDATIONS. Each manufactured home shall be set on excavated foundations, be solidly blocked, fully skirted with properly braced siding material or compatible masonry, have all hitches and tongues removed or placed completely below grade and concealed from view. All tires, wheels and axles shall be removed from the manufactured home, and the manufactured home shall be set as low as possible to finished grade.
D. DRAINAGE & UTILITIES. Each manufactured home shall have rainwater gutters and downspouts which are connected in accordance with Park Management’s written instructions. All water lines, sewer lines and wiring shall be underground. Water and sewer connections shall be of rigid material and not exposed to view. All water pipes must be insulated to prevent freezing, including pipes hidden behind trailer skirting, by suitable systems acceptable to Management and shall be maintained in good operating order at all times. Water spigots shall be protected by a foam-style water spigot cover during freezing weather. Water lines shall be provided with a suitable check valve device to prevent water heaters from draining in the event that the water supply is interrupted. No storage tanks shall be allowed above the surface of the ground.
E. LOCATION. Each manufactured home shall be located within the Lot’s setback lines which shall be established by the individual lot plan prepared incident to and attached to the agreement for installation of the manufactured home on the Lot, but in any event the setback lines shall be not less than 5 feet from the side and rear of the Lot, and not less than 15 feet from the front of the Lot.
F. COMPLIANCE WITH CODE. At all times the manufactured home, all accessory structures and improvements, and utility connections shall comply with applicable governmental laws, ordinances and regulations, including without limitation procuring alteration permits required by the Department of Labor and Industries if applicable.
G. ADDRESS. Every manufactured home shall display a lot number that is clearly visible from the street in front of the home.
5. LOT AND MANUFACTURED HOME APPEARANCE.
A. Tenant shall maintain Tenant’s Lot and manufactured home, all landscaping, structures, improvements, and other things attached to, or placed thereon, in good condition and repair, in a neat, clean, attractive and well-kept fashion. All concrete, asphalt, and other surfaces shall be maintained in good condition and repair, kept clean, and maintained free of oil and all other sticky or oily substances. When Tenant is away, it is Tenant’s responsibility to have someone maintain Tenant’s manufactured home and Lot.
B. No objects may be stored under Tenant’s manufactured home. Unless specifically permitted by the Park’s residency documents, or approved by Park Management in writing, nothing may be placed or stored outside of Tenant’s manufactured home or storage shed. This includes, but is not limited to, overstuffed furniture, appliances, ironing boards, brooms, mops, tools, gardening equipment, debris, refuse, litter, firewood, or any item which is unsightly in appearance. Patio furniture that complies with these rules and regulations, operable bicycles, and barbecue equipment, all of which are to be maintained in an attractive and neat condition, are the only items permitted outside of Tenant’s manufactured home, RV, or storage shed. Nothing visible from the street is to be hung outside Tenant’s manufactured home, RV, or shed to dry or air, or for any other purpose.
C. Only outdoor patio furniture approved by Park Management, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, may be used on the patio, porch, yard, or other portions of the Lot.

Clippings, etc., must be cut to fit into trash bags and cans. All garbage must be deposited at the street for pickup in a manner and on an appropriate day as designated by Park Management. Large items, such as discarded furniture, or garbage exceeding the capacity of Tenant’s trash container, must be disposed of by Tenant. Sanitary and health laws must be obeyed at all times.

If any portion of the exterior of Tenant’s manufactured home, RV, or its accessory equipment, structures, appliances, or the Lot is damaged, the damage must be repaired within twenty (20) days of written notice. This includes, but is not limited to, damage to the siding, awning supports, downspouts, skirting, porch, or storage shed.
G. Because major repair and painting can cause damage to the property of others if not properly conducted, Tenant is required to obtain Park Management’s written consent before undertaking such actions.
H. The utility pedestals (water and utility hook ups) must be accessible at all times. If one of the Park’s water shut off valves is located on Tenant’s Lot, it must be kept uncovered and accessible at all times.

Tenant must grade Tenant’s landscaping, or otherwise divert surface water away from Tenant’s manufactured home. The Park will not be responsible for any drainage problems encountered by Tenant, or for any subsequent re-leveling or adjustment required on the manufactured home, awning, or Tenant improvements as a result of soil expansion or contraction, tree roots, and/or any other reason.
J. Tenant shall bear the cost of repairs to any utilities or Park property damaged by Tenant. To avoid damage to underground facilities, Tenant must have Park Management’s written consent before digging or driving rods or stakes into the ground.

L. Only manufactured accessory equipment, structures and appliances are permitted, and no such “homemade” equipment, structures, or appliances may be installed.

13.a. SEPTIC RULES.
Properly Dispose of Waste
A. Do not flush anything besides human waste and toilet paper. Thicker, quilted, or multi-ply types of toilet paper are problematic to septic systems.
Toilet
B. Never flush:
1. Cat litter
2. Chlorine tablets
3. Cigarette butts
4. Condoms
5. Coffee grounds
6. Cooking grease or oil
7. Dental floss
8. Diapers
9. Drugs
10. Feminine hygiene products
11. “Flushable” wipes or baby wipes

13. Paper towels
14. Pharmaceuticals
15. Photographic solutions

C. Your septic system contains a collection of living organisms that digest and treat household waste. Pouring toxins down your drain can kill these organisms and harm your septic system. Whether you are at the kitchen sink, bathtub, or utility sink:

2. Never pour cooking oil or grease down the drain.
3. Never pour oil-based paints, solvents, or toxic cleaners down the drain. Even latex paint waste should be minimized.

Washing Machines
