Pennsylvania Mobile Home Park Operator Resources

Quick-reference guides for operating a mobile home park in Pennsylvania — covering rent control, eviction process, lease law, and market data. Governed by Manufactured Home Community Rights Act (68 P.S. §398.1).

Rent Control

Rent Control in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania does not currently impose rent control on mobile home park lot rents. Operators must still follow Manufactured Home Community Rights Act (68 P.S. §398.1) notice requirements and lease provisions on every increase.

Eviction Process

Eviction Process in Pennsylvania

Mobile home park evictions in Pennsylvania typically take longer than apartment evictions because the resident often owns the home. This is the step-by-step process under Manufactured Home Community Rights Act (68 P.S. §398.1), with notice periods, court timelines, and operator best practices.

Lease Law

Lease Law in Pennsylvania

Lease requirements for mobile home parks in Pennsylvania go beyond standard residential lease language. Manufactured Home Community Rights Act (68 P.S. §398.1) imposes MHP-specific provisions that don't apply to apartments. This guide covers the disclosures, notice formats, and clauses operators in Pennsylvania should include.

Market Data

Market Data in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania has roughly 980 mobile home parks with about 74,000 lots and average lot rent near $460 per month — the 14th-largest U.S. market by park count in this dataset. No rent control on mobile-home lots; lot-rent growth is market-driven, subject to statutory notice periods.
