Mobile Home Violations: What You Need to Know

Keeping your home in good shape isn’t just about looks—it’s about safety, compliance, and keeping your neighbors happy. Here’s a handy guide to the most common mobile home violations and how to avoid them.

A: A little damage now can turn into a big ol’ headache later. Leaks lead to mold, rot, and costly repairs. Fix it before it gets worse.

A: Nope! Broken windows, torn screens, or tacking up an old blanket instead of proper blinds might get you a violation. Stick to approved coverings.

A: It sure does! Peeling paint, damage, or mold can lower property values and invite bigger issues like water damage or pests. Keep it fresh.

A: Missing or broken skirting isn’t just an eyesore—it helps with insulation, keeps critters out, and is required in most communities.

A: If they’re not built right, they can be unsafe. Plus, unapproved additions might not meet community rules. Check first before building.

A: Most mobile home parks don’t allow fencing since it can block utility access or make the community look cluttered. Best to check before installing.

A: Keep it under control—overgrown yards not only look bad but can attract bugs, snakes, and other unwelcome guests.

A: Big ol’ oil stains, clutter, or parking where you shouldn’t can get you a violation. Keep it clean and use it for parking—not storage.

A: Yep. A busted exterior light isn’t just a violation—it’s also a safety issue.

A: No junk piles, old furniture, or random clutter, even if it’s in your yard. If it’s outside, it should be in an approved storage shed.

A: Sure, but it has to be approved by the community and in good condition. No leaning, rusted, or DIY disasters.

A: Clogged or missing gutters lead to water damage and erosion around your home. Plus, standing water attracts mosquitoes—nobody wants that.

A: Don’t wait! Leaks can cause major damage and lead to expensive water bills. Fix them ASAP.

A: If it’s leaking or not draining properly, it can cause mold or structural damage. Keep it in good working order.

A: Not without approval! Unapproved changes can be dangerous and may lead to serious fines—or worse.

Ignoring small maintenance issues can lead to big problems. Stay on top of these common violations, and you’ll keep your home safe, looking great, and in good standing with your mobile home community.

Home condition violations are $40 each, and you can receive multiple violations if there are several items needing repair. Just paying the violation fee won’t solve the problem—if the repairs aren’t completed, ongoing issues can lead to more fines and even eviction. It’s crucial to fix any violations quickly to avoid escalating consequences and keep your home in good standing.
