¶6 Tison argues that the rent increase limitation is enforceable because it was bargained and negotiated for between herself and the park’s former owner, Erlitz, courts should not limit parties’ freedom to contract, and the rent increase limitation was enforceable against any landlord for as long as she lived at the park.3 Western Plaza responds that the Agreement specifically provided for a one-year term, that after the first year it could raise rent in accordance with the MHLTA, and that the rent increase limitation provision was unenforceable after the first year. We agree with Tison and hold that the rent increase limit provision specifically bargained for here does not violate the MHLTA and the MHLTA does not render it unenforceable.
