Change of use notice

Definition

The long warning a park owner owes residents before the land can do anything else.

Why It Matters

A lot renter is a tenant from the first day, and the grounds for ending that tenancy are a closed list that does not include a change of owner. Closing the park is on the list and it is slow on purpose: California requires sixty days' written notice before the owner even appears before the local body to ask for permits, then six months or more of notice after they are granted, and Florida requires six months. Selling has its own clock in the other direction, since the owner must notify the residents' association of an intention to sell not less than thirty days and not more than a year before signing a listing agreement. A buyer planning to redevelop is buying a timetable, not a site.
