How to use this

This sheet summarizes; it does not replace the statute or legal advice. The exact wording, exceptions, and procedures live in the sections cited above and in the park's own prospectus and rental agreement. Other authorities — federal law, Florida nonprofit corporation law for resident-owned communities, and local rules — can also apply.
