Rent.

All periodic rental payments charged to residents by the park owner shall
be uniform throughout the park, except that a higher rent may be charged to a particular
resident due to the larger size or location of the lot, or the special services or facilities
furnished by the park. A park owner may charge a reasonable fee for delinquent rent where
the fee is provided for in the rental agreement new text begin , except in no case may the fee exceed eight
percent of the delinquent rent payment new text end . The fee shall be enforceable as part of the rent owed
by the resident. No park owner shall charge to a resident any fee, whether as part of or in
addition to the periodic rental payment, which is based on the number of persons residing
or staying in the resident's home, the number or age of children residing or staying in the
home, the number of guests staying in the home, the size of the home, the fact that the home
is temporarily vacant or the type of personal property used or located in the home. The park
owner may charge an additional fee for pets owned by the resident, but the fee may not
exceed $4 per pet per month. This subdivision does not prohibit a park owner from abating
all or a portion of the rent of a particular resident with special needs.
