Florida’s Mobile Home Act (Chapter 723) protects homeowners from unfair park practices such as illegal evictions, retaliatory management, and unlawful fees. For an example, see the Posner Complaint below—our latest case involving retaliation.

Parks sometimes threaten eviction over minor or made-up “rule violations.” Florida law requires strict compliance with §723.061 — and many parks fail to follow it. If your eviction notice came after you organized, complained, or questioned billing, it may be retaliation under §723.0615 — and illegal.

Your rent already includes certain services, such as water, sewer, and garbage. A park cannot start charging separately for those items without DBPR approval and a 90-day written notice to every homeowner. If you’ve been billed for new “fees,” you may be owed refunds under both Chapter 723 and the Florida Consumer Collection Practices Act.

In 2025, Brevard Consumer Law Center won a landmark class action proving a local park unlawfully billed residents for water already included in their rent. The court ordered compensation, attorney’s fees, and limits on future rent increases — and required the park to end retaliation.This case now serves as precedent for residents statewide.

Many residents improve their lots with gardens, fencing, or trees — all legal if consistent with prior approvals.When parks demand removal or threaten eviction, the law often sides with the homeowner.Our firm has stopped evictions where landscaping was used as a pretext for retaliation.

The next legal battle we have is to get clean water to a mobile home park in Titusville.  The Park has a private well and it's not been cared for properly, and proper required testing has not been completed nor results shared. We will bring you this interesting story shortly. This one will showcase how a federal lawsuit against a park gets its start, and all the steps along the way.
