F.S. 723.012

723.012 Prospectus or offering circular.—The prospectus or offering circular, which is required to be provided by s. 723.011, must contain the following information:

(1) The front cover or the first page must contain only:

(a) The name of the mobile home park.

(b) The following statements in conspicuous type:

1. THIS PROSPECTUS CONTAINS VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND YOUR FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS IN LEASING A MOBILE HOME LOT. MAKE SURE THAT YOU READ THE ENTIRE DOCUMENT AND SEEK LEGAL ADVICE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE INFORMATION SET FORTH IN THIS DOCUMENT.

2. THE STATEMENTS CONTAINED HEREIN ARE ONLY SUMMARY IN NATURE. A PROSPECTIVE LESSEE SHOULD REFER TO ALL REFERENCES, ALL EXHIBITS HERETO, THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS, AND SALES MATERIALS.

3. ORAL REPRESENTATIONS SHOULD NOT BE RELIED UPON AS CORRECTLY STATING THE REPRESENTATIONS OF THE PARK OWNER OR OPERATOR. REFER TO THIS PROSPECTUS (OFFERING CIRCULAR) AND ITS EXHIBITS FOR CORRECT REPRESENTATIONS.

4. UPON DELIVERY OF THE PROSPECTUS TO A PROSPECTIVE LESSEE, THE RENTAL AGREEMENT IS VOIDABLE BY THE LESSEE FOR A PERIOD OF 15 DAYS.

(2) The next page must contain all statements required to be in conspicuous type in the prospectus or offering circular in a summary form.

(3) A separate index of the contents and exhibits of the prospectus.

(4) Beginning on the first page of the text, the following information:

(a) The name and address or location of the mobile home park.

(b) The name and address of the person authorized to receive notices and demands on the park owner’s behalf.

1. The number of lots in each section, the approximate size of each lot, the setback requirements, and the minimum separation distance between mobile homes as required by law.

2. The maximum number of lots that will use shared facilities of the park; and, if the maximum number of lots will vary, a description of the basis for variation.

(5) A description of the recreational and other common facilities, if any, that will be used by the mobile home owners, including, but not limited to:

(a) The number of buildings and each room thereof and its intended purposes, location, approximate floor area, and capacity in numbers of people.

(b) Each swimming pool, as to its general location, approximate size and depths, and approximate deck size and capacity and whether heated.

(e) A general description of the days and hours that facilities will be available for use.

(f) A statement as to whether all improvements are complete and, if not, their estimated completion dates.

If a mobile home park owner intends to include additional property and mobile home lots and to increase the number of lots that will use the shared facilities of the park, the mobile home park owner must amend the prospectus to disclose such additions. If the number of mobile home lots in the park increases by more than 15 percent of the total number of lots in the original prospectus, the mobile home park owner must reasonably offset the impact of the additional lots by increasing the shared facilities. The amendment to the prospectus must include a reasonable timeframe for providing the required additional shared facilities. The costs and expenses necessary to increase the shared facilities may not be passed on or passed through to the existing mobile home owners.

(6) The arrangements for management of the park and maintenance and operation of the park property and of other property that will serve the mobile home owners and the nature of the services included.

(8) The manner in which utility and other services, including, but not limited to, sewage and waste disposal, cable television, water supply, and storm drainage, will be provided, and the person or entity furnishing them. The services and the lot rental amount or user fees charged by the park owner for the services provided by the park owner shall also be disclosed.

(9) An explanation of the manner in which the lot rental amount will be raised, including, but not limited to:

(a) Notification of the mobile home owner at least 90 days in advance of the increase.

(b) Disclosure of any factors which may affect the lot rental amount, including, but not limited to:

1. Water rates.

2. Sewer rates.

3. Waste disposal rates.

4. Maintenance costs, including costs of deferred maintenance.

5. Management costs.

6. Property taxes.

7. Major repairs or improvements.

8. Any other fees, costs, entrance fees, or charges to which the mobile home owner may be subjected.
