The Government of Yukon is considering changes to the Residential Landlord and Tenant Act pertaining to mobile home tenancies and sought input from mobile home owners, tenants and park owners.
We wanted to know your input on two general issues: the ability of a park owner to evict mobile home owners without cause, and whether there should be controls on how the mobile home park owner can raise pad rents.
Mobile home pad rentals present unique challenges compared to many other types of tenancies. Your input will be used to determine whether the legislation can be improved.
The current Act governs the relationship between a mobile home owner and mobile home park owner in a manner similar to other tenancies, with the exception of certain extended notice periods. Several other jurisdictions in Canada further distinguish between these types of tenancies and in some cases have specific stand-alone legislation.
