Chapter 327C expressly and consistently differentiates between “rules” and “rule changes” and “rent” and “rent increases.” A rule is defined as “any rental agreement provision, regulation, rule or policy through which a park owner controls, affects or seeks to control or affect the behavior of residents.” Minn.Stat. § 327C.01, subd. 10 (2008). Unreasonable rules are prohibited. Minn.Stat. § 327C.05, subd. 1. The statute enumerates rules that are presumptively unreasonable and provides that a court may declare unreasonable any rule that fails to meet the statutory definition of a reasonable rule. MinmStat. § 327C.05, subds. 2, 3 (2008). The enforceability of a rule modification is governed by section 327C.02, subdivision 2, which requires that the new or amended rule be reasonable and not a substantial modification of the original agreement. Minn.Stat. § 327.02, subd. 2. Section 327.01, subdivision 8, defines “reasonable rule,” and subdivision 11 defines “substantial modification.” 1 Minn.Stat. § 327.01, subds. 8,11.
