  760  housing, and health codes, including compliance with all
  761  building permits and construction requirements for construction
  762  on the mobile home and lot. The home owner is responsible for
  763  all fines imposed by the local government for noncompliance with
  764  any local codes.
  765         (2) At all times keep the mobile home lot that which he or
  766  she occupies clean, neat, and sanitary, and maintained in
  767  compliance with all local codes.
  768         (3) At all times comply with properly promulgated park

  770  with his or her consent to comply with such rules and to conduct
  771  themselves, and other persons on the premises with his or her
  772  consent, in a manner that does not unreasonably disturb other
  773  residents of the park or constitute a breach of the peace.
  774         (4)Receive written approval from the mobile home park
  775  owner before making any exterior modification or addition to the
  776  home.
  777         (5)When vacating the premises, remove any debris and other

  779         Section 21. Subsection (5) of section 723.031, Florida
  780  Statutes, is amended to read:
  781         723.031 Mobile home lot rental agreements.—
  782         (5) The rental agreement must shall contain the lot rental
  783  amount and services included. An increase in lot rental amount
  784  upon expiration of the term of the lot rental agreement must
  785  shall be in accordance with ss. 723.033 and 723.037 or s.
  786  723.059(4), whichever is applicable;, provided that, pursuant to
  787  s. 723.059(4), the amount of the lot rental increase is
  788  disclosed and agreed to by the purchaser, in writing. An
  789  increase in lot rental amount shall not be arbitrary or
  790  discriminatory between similarly situated tenants in the park. A
  791  lot rental amount may not be increased during the term of the
  792  lot rental agreement, except:
  793         (a) When the manner of the increase is disclosed in a lot
  794  rental agreement with a term exceeding 12 months and which
  795  provides for such increases not more frequently than annually.
  796         (b) For pass-through charges as defined in s. 723.003.
  797         (c) That a charge may not be collected which results in
  798  payment of money for sums previously collected as part of the
  799  lot rental amount. The provisions hereof notwithstanding, the
  800  mobile home park owner may pass on, at any time during the term
  801  of the lot rental agreement, ad valorem property taxes, non-ad
  802  valorem assessments, and utility charges, or increases of
  803  either, provided that the ad valorem property taxes, non-ad
  804  valorem assessments, and utility charges are not otherwise being
  805  collected in the remainder of the lot rental amount and provided
  806  further that the passing on of such ad valorem taxes, non-ad
  807  valorem assessments, or utility charges, or increases of either,
  808  was disclosed prior to tenancy, was being passed on as a matter
  809  of custom between the mobile home park owner and the mobile home
  810  owner, or such passing on was authorized by law. A park owner is
  811  deemed to have disclosed the passing on of ad valorem property
  812  taxes and non-ad valorem assessments if ad valorem property
  813  taxes or non-ad valorem assessments were disclosed as a separate
  814  charge or a factor for increasing the lot rental amount in the
  815  prospectus or rental agreement. Such ad valorem taxes, non-ad
  816  valorem assessments, and utility charges shall be a part of the
  817  lot rental amount as defined by this chapter. The term “non-ad
  818  valorem assessments” has the same meaning as provided in s.
  819  197.3632(1)(d). Other provisions of this chapter
  820  notwithstanding, pass-on charges may be passed on only within 1
  821  year of the date a mobile home park owner remits payment of the
  822  charge. A mobile home park owner is prohibited from passing on
  823  any fine, interest, fee, or increase in a charge resulting from
  824  a park owner’s payment of the charge after the date such charges
  825  become delinquent. A mobile home park owner is prohibited from
  826  charging or collecting from the mobile home owners any sum for
  827  ad valorem taxes or non-ad valorem tax charges in an amount in
  828  excess of the sums remitted by the park owner to the tax
  829  collector. Nothing herein shall prohibit a park owner and a
  830  homeowner from mutually agreeing to an alternative manner of
  831  payment to the park owner of the charges.
  832         (d) If a notice of increase in lot rental amount is not
  833  given 90 days before the renewal date of the rental agreement,
  834  the rental agreement must remain under the same terms until a
  835  90-day notice of increase in lot rental amount is given. The
  836  notice may provide for a rental term shorter than 1 year in
  837  order to maintain the same renewal date.
  838         Section 22. Subsection (1) and paragraph (a) of subsection
  839  (4) of section 723.037, Florida Statutes, are amended to read:
  840         723.037 Lot rental increases; reduction in services or
  841  utilities; change in rules and regulations; mediation.—
  842         (1) A park owner shall give written notice to each affected
  843  mobile home owner and the board of directors of the homeowners’
  844  association, if one has been formed, at least 90 days before any
  845  increase in lot rental amount or reduction in services or
  846  utilities provided by the park owner or change in rules and
  847  regulations. The park owner may give notice of all increases in
  848  lot rental amount for multiple anniversary dates in the same 90
  849  day notice. The notice must shall identify all other affected
  850  homeowners, which may be by lot number, name, group, or phase.
  851  If the affected homeowners are not identified by name, the park
  852  owner shall make the names and addresses available upon request.
  853  However, this requirement does not authorize the release of the
  854  names, addresses, or other private information about the
  855  homeowners to the association or any other person for any other
  856  purpose. The home owner’s right to the 90-day notice may not be
  857  waived or precluded by a home owner, or the homeowners’
  858  committee, in an agreement with the park owner. Rules adopted as
  859  a result of restrictions imposed by governmental entities and
  860  required to protect the public health, safety, and welfare may
  861  be enforced prior to the expiration of the 90-day period but are
  862  not otherwise exempt from the requirements of this chapter.
  863  Pass-through charges must be separately listed as to the amount
  864  of the charge, the name of the governmental entity mandating the
  865  capital improvement, and the nature or type of the pass-through
  866  charge being levied. Notices of increase in the lot rental
  867  amount due to a pass-through charge must shall state the
  868  additional payment and starting and ending dates of each pass
  869  through charge. The homeowners’ association shall have no
  870  standing to challenge the increase in lot rental amount,
  871  reduction in services or utilities, or change of rules and
  872  regulations unless a majority of the affected homeowners agree,
  873  in writing, to such representation.
  874         (4)(a) A committee, not to exceed five in number,
  875  designated by a majority of the affected mobile home owners or
  876  by the board of directors of the homeowners’ association, if
  877  applicable, and the park owner shall meet, at a mutually
  878  convenient time and place no later than 60 days before the
  879  effective date of the change to discuss the reasons for the
  880  increase in lot rental amount, reduction in services or
  881  utilities, or change in rules and regulations. The negotiating
  882  committee shall make a written request for a meeting with the
  883  park owner or subdivision developer to discuss those matters
  884  addressed in the 90-day notice, and may include in the request a
  885  listing of any other issue, with supporting documentation, that
  886  the committee intends to raise and discuss at the meeting. The
  887  committee shall address all lot rental amount increases that are
  888  specified in the notice of lot rental amount increase,
  889  regardless of the effective date of the increase.
  890  
  891  This subsection is not intended to be enforced by civil or
  892  administrative action. Rather, the meetings and discussions are
  893  intended to be in the nature of settlement discussions prior to
  894  the parties proceeding to mediation of any dispute.
  895         Section 23. Subsections (5) and (6) are added to section
  896  723.041, Florida Statutes, to read:
  897         723.041 Entrance fees; refunds; exit fees prohibited;
  898  replacement homes.—
  899         (5) A mobile home park that is damaged or destroyed due to
  900  wind, water, or other natural force may be rebuilt on the same
  901  site with the same density as was approved, permitted, and built
  902  before the park was damaged or destroyed.
  903         (6) This section does not limit the regulation of the
  904  uniform firesafety standards established under s. 633.206, but
  905  supersedes any other density, separation, setback, or lot size
  906  regulation adopted after initial permitting and construction of
  907  the mobile home park.
  908         Section 24. Section 723.042, Florida Statutes, is amended
  909  to read:
  910         723.042 Provision of improvements.—A No person may not
  911  shall be required by a mobile home park owner or developer, as a
  912  condition of residence in the mobile home park, to provide any
  913  improvement unless the requirement is disclosed pursuant to s.
  914  723.012(7) s. 723.011 prior to occupancy in the mobile home
  915  park.
  916         Section 25. Section 723.059, Florida Statutes, is amended
  917  to read:
  918         723.059 Rights of Purchaser of a mobile home within a
  919  mobile home park.—
  920         (1) The purchaser of a mobile home within a mobile home
  921  park may become a tenant of the park if such purchaser would
  922  otherwise qualify with the requirements of entry into the park
  923  under the park rules and regulations, subject to the approval of
  924  the park owner, but such approval may not be unreasonably
  925  withheld. The purchaser of the mobile home may cancel or rescind
  926  the contract for purchase of the mobile home if the purchaser’s
  927  tenancy has not been approved by the park owner 5 days before
  928  the closing of the purchase.
  929         (2) Properly promulgated rules may provide for the
  930  screening of any prospective purchaser to determine whether or
  931  not such purchaser is qualified to become a tenant of the park.
  932         (3) The purchaser of a mobile home who intends to become
  933  becomes a resident of the mobile home park in accordance with
  934  this section has the right to assume the remainder of the term
  935  of any rental agreement then in effect between the mobile home
  936  park owner and the seller and may assume the seller’s
  937  prospectus. However, nothing herein shall prohibit a mobile home
  938  park owner from offering the purchaser of a mobile home any
  939  approved prospectus shall be entitled to rely on the terms and
  940  conditions of the prospectus or offering circular as delivered
  941  to the initial recipient.
  942         (4) However, nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit
  943  a mobile home park owner from increasing the rental amount to be
  944  paid by the purchaser upon the expiration of the assumed rental
  945  agreement in an amount deemed appropriate by the mobile home
  946  park owner, so long as such increase is disclosed to the
  947  purchaser prior to his or her occupancy and is imposed in a
  948  manner consistent with the purchaser’s initial offering circular
  949  or prospectus and this act.
  950         (5) Lifetime leases and the renewal provisions in
  951  automatically renewable leases, both those existing and those
  952  entered into after July 1, 1986, are not assumable unless
  953  otherwise provided in the mobile home lot rental agreement or
  954  unless the transferee is the home owner’s spouse. The right to
  955  an assumption of the lease by a spouse may be exercised only one
  956  time during the term of that lease.
  957         Section 26. Paragraph (d) of subsection (1) of section
  958  723.061, Florida Statutes, is amended, and subsection (5) is
  959  added to that section, to read:
  960         723.061 Eviction; grounds, proceedings.—
  961         (1) A mobile home park owner may evict a mobile home owner,
  962  a mobile home tenant, a mobile home occupant, or a mobile home
  963  only on one or more of the following grounds:
  964         (d) Change in use of the land comprising the mobile home
  965  park, or the portion thereof from which mobile homes are to be
  966  evicted, from mobile home lot rentals to some other use, if:
  967         1. The park owner gives written notice to the homeowners’
  968  association formed and operating under ss. 723.075-723.079 of
  969  its right to purchase the mobile home park, if the land
  970  comprising the mobile home park is changing use from mobile home
  971  lot rentals to a different use, at the price and under the terms
  972  and conditions set forth in the written notice.
  973         a. The notice shall be delivered to the officers of the

  977  to purchase the mobile home park at the price and under the
  978  terms and conditions set forth in the notice. If the contract
  979  between the park owner and the homeowners’ association is not
  980  executed and delivered to the park owner within the 45-day
  981  period, the park owner is under no further obligation to the
  982  homeowners’ association except as provided in sub-subparagraph

  990  park owner.
  991         c. The park owner is not obligated under this subparagraph

  994  mobile home park to the homeowners’ association after 6 months
  995  after the date of the mailing of the initial notice under sub
  996  subparagraph a.
  997         2. The park owner gives the affected mobile home owners and
  998  tenants at least 6 months’ notice of the eviction due to the
  999  projected change in use and of their need to secure other

 1002  with a copy of the notice. The division must provide the

 1014  
 1015         b. The park owner may not give a notice of increase in lot
 1016  rental amount within 90 days before giving notice of a change in
 1017  use.
 1018         (5)A park owner who accepts payment of any portion of the
 1019  lot rental amount with actual knowledge of noncompliance after
 1020  notice and termination of the rental agreement due to a
 1021  violation under paragraph (1)(b), paragraph (1)(c), or paragraph
 1022  (1)(e) does not waive the right to terminate the rental
 1023  agreement or the right to bring a civil action for the
 1024  noncompliance, but not for any subsequent or continuing
 1025  noncompliance. Any rent so received must be accounted for at the
 1026  final hearing.
 1027         Section 27. Subsection (1) of section 723.076, Florida
 1028  Statutes, is amended to read:
 1029         723.076 Incorporation; notification of park owner.—
