Mobile home site issues engagement

Feedback gathered to help us better understand and address concerns related to living in or managing mobile home sites.

Overview

We gathered input from Albertans to help us identify challenges and barriers faced by mobile home residents, landlords and organizations to help inform potential policy or legislative changes.

Mobile home site residents previously identified a need for a coordinated approach to discuss issues that cannot be resolved through the Residential Tenancy Dispute Resolution Service.

The engagement supported those discussions by exploring:

  • site maintenance
  • mobile home community infrastructure
  • health and safety
  • affordability
  • safety and security

The Mobile Home Sites Tenancies Act governs the relationship between landlords and residents of mobile home sites. Changes to the act granted mobile home site residents and landlords access to the Residential Tenancy Dispute Resolution Service to help resolve tenancy-related disputes without having to go to court.
