20Once fully set up on a foundation at a particular site
and connected to utilities, manufactured houses generally are
not relocated. See Commonwealth v. DeCotis, 366 Mass. 234, 238
(1974). Thus, unlike tenants living in traditional residential
housing, park residents cannot simply pack up their homes and
move without losing a substantial asset. As individuals of
limited means with limited housing options, park residents may
be especially vulnerable to unfair park rules. See id. at 243
(tenants' willingness to pay resale fees where no services
rendered therefor "demonstrate[d] the extent to which the [park
owners] had their tenants at their mercy").
