4.1 Written lease required. The park owner shall provide an initial copy of the lease
to each leaseholder of the mobile home park and upon request shall give a leaseholder a
copy of the current lease for his or her lot. All terms governing use and occupancy of a
mobile home lot shall be in writing, and every lease shall be fair and reasonable; any term
which obstructs a leaseholder’s ability to act in accordance with 10 V.S.A. Chapter 153
shall be unenforceable. No lease term may require a leaseholder to waive any rights
provided by 10 V.S.A. Chapter 153 or these rules, or any other provision of state or
federal law or regulation.

4.2 Prospective leaseholders. The park owner shall provide each prospective
leaseholder a copy of the proposed written lease with sufficient time for review prior to
finalizing any lease. Upon agreement, both the park owner and the prospective
leaseholder shall sign the lease and the park owner shall furnish a copy of the signed
lease to the leaseholder.

4.3 Uniform enforcement. Any lease term that is not uniformly applied to all
leaseholders of the same or similar category shall be unenforceable, with the exception of
different lot rent amounts in mobile home parks constructed after June 1, 1995, or new
lots in mobile home parks expanded after that date. The park owner shall have the
burden of proving the existence of a reasonable basis for categorizing leaseholders or
lots.
