Instead of a termination notice, the park owner may give you a notice asking you to relocate to a different site within the park or to some other park he/she operates. At least 90 days notice must be given to you for this reason.

What if I agree to relocate?

If you come to an agreement with the park owner for you to move to another site within the park or to another park operated by the same owner, you may be entitled to compensation similar to the amount you may receive after getting a notice of termination.

How will moving sites affect my original Agreement?

Once you move to another site your old Agreement transfers and applies to your occupation of the new site. The rent you pay at the new site must be the same or lower than the rent you paid at the old site.

Compensation

The park owner may have to pay you compensation if the Tribunal makes an order for you to leave the site following a relocation for any of these reasons:

• change of use
• repairs and upgrading
• relocation
• the park owner’s hardship, or
• where the site is not lawfully useable as a residential site.

The amount of compensation will depend on the ‘reasonable costs’ of:

• removing your home from the site (including the cost to disconnect telephone, electricity, etc.)
• transporting your home and possessions to the new site (relocation), or to your new location, or disposing of it
• repairing any damage to your home that happened during the relocation (up to its original value)
• landscaping your new site to the same condition as your old one
• installing your home on the new site and connecting any services.

A resident does not have to relocate until compensation has been paid in full.
