You own the home; the park owns the dirt. When the park is sold, lot rents jump 30–60% in a season — and in nine states, park law answers back.
| State | Lot-rent rule | Notice |
|---|---|---|
| Washington | Cap: 5% | 180 days |
| Oregon | 6% over 30 spaces | 90 days |
| New Jersey | Cap: 3.5% | 30 days |
| New Mexico | 3% / 5% | 90 days |
| Florida | No percentage cap — procedure rules | 90 days |
| California | No percentage cap — procedure rules | 90 days |
| Maine | No percentage cap — procedure rules | 90 days |
| Minnesota | No percentage cap — procedure rules | 60 days |
| Delaware | No percentage cap — procedure rules | 60 days |
Washington pairs a flat 5% cap with 180 days’ notice — the strongest park position in the country. Delaware makes a park justify any increase above inflation. Florida gives no cap but a prospectus-and-procedure regime parks routinely break. And in every other state, your lease, your state’s notice floor, and the park’s own paperwork are the file.
