Tenants can pay off any back rent they owe-- plus any late payment fees and $15 in liquidated damages and the landlord’s filing and service costs--up until the time of their eviction hearing.

The law sets out special eviction rules that park owners must follow to lawfully evict park tenants. The steps include written notice to the tenant and the legal opportunity for a court hearing.
