Types of residential park agreements
A residential park agreement may be:
- a residential park site agreement, where a park owner allows a person to rent a site to occupy and install or place a dwelling on the site for residential purposes, or
- a residential park tenancy agreement, where a park owner allows a person to rent a site and an existing dwelling for residential purposes, or
- a sub-tenancy agreement, where a resident allows another person to rent the site and dwelling for residential purposes (whether the dwelling was installed by the park owner or the resident. Sub-letting can only happen in certain circumstances: see Sub-letting.
[Residential Parks Act 2007 (SA) s 3]
Different rules apply depending on whether the agreement is a residential park site agreement or a residential park tenancy agreement in relation to ending agreements and in relation to the park operator's rights of entry to property.
Consumer and Business Services has prepared information booklets for park owners, residents who rent only a site, and residents who rent both a site and a dwelling.
