Section 205-A:4 Permissible Reasons for Eviction.

After the effective date of this section, a tenancy may be terminated by a park owner or operator pursuant to this chapter only for one or more of the following reasons:
   I. Nonpayment of rent, utility charges, or reasonable incidental service charges; provided that no action for possession shall be maintained if prior to the expiration of an eviction notice the tenant shall pay or tender all arrearages due plus $15 as liquidated damages.
   II. Failure of the tenant to comply with local ordinances or state or federal law or regulations relating to manufactured housing or manufactured housing parks, provided that the tenant is first given written notice of the tenant's failure to comply with said laws or regulations and a reasonable opportunity thereafter to comply with said laws or regulations.
   III. Damage by the tenant to the demised property, reasonable wear and tear excepted.
   IV. Repeated conduct of the tenant, upon the manufactured housing park premises, which disturbs the peace and quiet of other tenants in the manufactured housing park.
   V. Failure of the tenant to comply with reasonable written rules and regulations of the manufactured housing park as established by the park owner or operator in the rental agreement at the inception of the tenancy or as amended subsequently with the written consent of the tenant, or without the tenant's consent upon 3 months' written notice; provided that the tenant is first given written notice of the failure to comply and a reasonable opportunity thereafter to comply with said rules and regulations. Nothing in this section, however, shall be construed to permit a park owner or operator to vary the terms of a written or oral rental agreement without the express written consent of the tenant.
   VI. Condemnation or change of use of the manufactured housing park.
