Rent-increase notice & cap
3 months' written notice and a 5% annual cap on rent increases; increases are barred entirely in a tenant's first 12 months of tenancy. Signed into law, effective May 7, 2025.
For independent Washington MHC operators
A state-statute-verified rent-increase notice, built to clear Washington's HB 1217.
Send your rent roll, lease and rules history, and the proposed increase with its effective date. You get back a compliant notice letter, a completeness scorecard, a delivery-method checklist, and a proof-of-service log template — checked against the rulebook before your name goes on it.

Why MHC notice law isn't general landlord-tenant law
One missed clock, cap, or disclosure line voids the notice — and the lawsuits are already public.
Manufactured-housing-community law layers its own notice periods, caps, and mandated disclosure content on top of ordinary residential landlord-tenant rules. Community managers drafting notices in general-purpose property-management software have no way to know which statute applies, or that it changed this year.
Closure notice & disclosure
12 months' notice before a park closure, plus mandated larger-print disclosure language; a 5-day tenant notice is required after a zoning-change petition is filed.

The enforcement climate is real, not hypothetical
Five separate 2025–2026 cases, five different states.
Bloomington-Normal, IL
A lawsuit alleges "a pattern of unfair and deceptive practices" against the Oak Wood park owner.
Aztec, NM
Tenants sue their landlord over unlawful rules, evictions, and fees.
Statewide, IN
The Indiana Attorney General sues multiple parks over alleged "disastrous" conditions.
Sartell, MN
A settlement is approved in a park lawsuit brought by residents.
Multiple outlets
KCTV5, WGEM, WSAZ, WBKO, and WBRC report mobile home residents suing a landlord over rent increases and new fees — additional evidence found during this build's fresh verification pass, consistent with the pattern above.
The packet, by trigger event
Every trigger event becomes a Notice & Disclosure Compliance Packet.
A trigger event is a rent increase, a park-rule change, a zoning petition, or a park closure. Each one gets its own packet type, priced flat or by community, never as a percentage of the increase.

Freelead-magnet scanHow a packet gets built
Seven steps, with a human chokepoint the AI cannot skip.
The AI drafts. A deterministic checklist decides what's complete. A compliance analyst — and counsel, on closures and exceptions — releases every packet. That order never reverses.
01
Intake Intake
You send the rent roll, lease and rules history, prior notices, and the trigger-event details through the intake portal or by email.
02
Rulebook match Evidence
The trigger event is matched against the counsel-reviewed rulebook for your state and event type.
03
AI draft Evidence
The AI drafts the notice and disclosure language plus a completeness scorecard from the matched rulebook entry and your facts.
04
Deterministic checklist Review
A deterministic checklist hard-fails on notice period, cap or limit, mandated content, print format, and delivery method — no packet clears without a pass.
05
Compliance-analyst release Release
A compliance analyst reviews the rulebook match and checklist result and releases standard-tier packets. Closures, first-of-kind, and flagged exceptions route to the exception queue for counsel.
06
Delivery Release
Your packet — notice letter, completeness scorecard, delivery-method checklist, and proof-of-service log template — is delivered by portal or email.
07
Proof-of-service archive Release
Once you send the notice, the proof-of-service archive logs how and when it reached the tenant, for your records if the notice is ever challenged.
Pricing
Flat or ranged pricing per packet — never a percentage of the rent increase.
Pricing is set by packet type and, where relevant, lot count. It never scales with how large your rent increase is.

The 5-business-day SLA runs from complete intake for the Rent-Increase Notice Compliance Packet in a beachhead state.
Out-clause: this guarantee covers meeting your state's notice period, cap, and disclosure requirements as verified against the rulebook. It does not guarantee a tenant won't challenge the notice, and it does not cover delays caused by incomplete intake information.

FAQ
Questions independent operators actually ask.
Is this legal advice?
No. ParkNotice Clear is a documentation and compliance-preparation service. It is not legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship. You remain the sender and duty-holder of record for every notice.
What if my state isn't listed yet?
Washington is the live beachhead state today, with Oregon, California, Minnesota, and Illinois rulebooks in active counsel review. If your community is outside those five states, join the waitlist through the Gap Scan form and we'll notify you as your state's rulebook is verified.
What if a tenant challenges the notice anyway?
The deterministic checklist and compliance-analyst release reduce the chance a notice is challenged for a statutory defect, and the proof-of-service archive gives you a record of exactly how and when it was delivered. We don't represent you in a dispute and can't guarantee a notice won't be challenged — that risk sits with you as duty-holder of record, same as it always has.
Why not just use my property-management software?
Zego, Innago, BC Solutions, and similar tools store your documents and automate rent collection — they don't verify a notice against your state's MHC-specific statute. ParkNotice Clear checks the content, timing, delivery method, and print format against the rulebook before the notice goes out.
Why isn't pricing tied to the rent-increase amount?
Packet pricing is flat, or tiered by lot count and packet type — never a percentage of the increase. That keeps the incentive on getting the notice right, not on the size of the increase.
Compliance boundary
What the AI does, what a human decides, and what always goes to counsel.
- The AI can extract rent roll, lease, and prior-notice data; classify the trigger event and applicable state statute; draft notice and disclosure language from counsel-approved templates; run the deterministic checklist; and flag deviations.
- Compliance analysts — non-attorneys — verify the statute match and checklist result, confirm delivery-method selection, and release standard-tier packets that pass every deterministic check with zero exceptions flagged.
- Licensed counsel must approve any park-closure or change-of-use packet; any first-of-kind, ambiguous, or rulebook-gap notice; and anything touching an existing dispute or litigation — and reviews the rulebook itself and every update.
- Data handling: a standard data-handling agreement, access controls, and encryption at rest and in transit apply to every engagement, with minimum-necessary collection. Tenant PII appearing in rent rolls and leases is treated as sensitive.
This packet is a documentation and compliance-preparation service. It is not legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship. The recipient community owner remains the sender and duty-holder of record for this notice.
