(A) Any mobile home or travel trailer park that is found to be in violation of this chapter will cease entering into new leases and shall cease park operations at the end of the rental period, but no later than the end of a 40-day grace period beginning from the date notice was given of permit violation. The owner and operator of the park shall be jointly and severally liable to existing tenants for fulfillment of contractual obligations unless the violation is due to an act or condition beyond his or her control. Unless an inspection shows the violation to have been corrected before the end of the 40-day grace period, the permit for all spaces shall be revoked.
(B) Once the 40-day grace period has ended, if the owner has not corrected the violation he or she shall be required to re-submit his or her mobile home park plan in compliance with this chapter in order to get an operating permit. Upon the revocation of the operating license, all leases shall be deemed automatically terminated and the park owner or operator may only collect rent due for any preceding month or portion thereof and in no event shall the owner or operator keep or collect a larger percentage of the entire rent for the entire lease term than would be due on the basis of actual occupancy time as a percentage of the entire lease term. Tenants shall be notified by certified mail within three days of the termination of his or her leases on account of the revocation of the operating permit and his or her right to have 30 days with no rent liability for such period to remove his or her mobile homes, travel trailers, and property from the park.
(C) Once the operating permit is revoked, the owner or operator of the park shall continue for 30 days to perform services at the park deemed necessary by the Enforcement Officer and the County Health Department for the health and safety of the tenants, and the tenants shall be given 30 days after the date of revocation of the permit to remove his or her mobile homes, travel trailers, and property from the park, and the tenants shall not be liable for rent on account of such 30-day period.
