If you stay long-term in a residential park, the owner is obligated to enter into a Long-Term Agreement.

​

The Parks Act covers two types of agreements:

• site-only agreement – where the tenant rents the site only and owns the relocatable home placed on the site; and

• on-site home agreement – where the tenant rents both the site and the home.

​

Long-stay agreements can either be for a fixed term or periodic.

• A fixed-term long-stay agreement sets out the period of time for which the tenant rents the premises. For example, this could be six to 12 months or even 60 years. It is more difficult for either party to end a fixed-term agreement as it provides certainty about the length of the term. However, at the end of the set period a tenant may be required to leave a park and pay any costs of relocating.

• A periodic long-stay agreement does not specify an end date and can last for an indefinite time. Either party can end the agreement in certain circumstances by giving notice (see Part 7 of the Information Booklet) about ending a tenancy) this provides greater flexibility to both parties, but less certainty.

​

The park owner must provide certain information and documentation prior to the agreement being signed. Read the Information Booklet for Park Living for further details.

​

The Government provides a standard agreement form, which may be altered by the park, but provides the basis for an agreement. Download the Standard Agreement Form Here.
