Always check with the office first. Any improvements which fail to comply with the Park’s standards must be brought up to those standards or removed from the Park. Failure to do so will cause the Park Management to have the right but not the obligation, to remove and dispose of the improvement, material and rubbish. Improvement-- removed from the Park and the expenses billed to the resident. Whether removed by the park, or not, failure to comply is a violation of the rental agreement for which the tenant and home may be removed from the park.

All construction debris must be completely removed by the tenant, at his/her expense. From the lot by each Friday (weekly) this is the work can be done during the week but the debris needs to be removed at the end of each week.

LOADING/UNLOADING OF RV’S: There is a three (3) day limit to load or unload any RV, extra cars, etc., when you first arrive back to the park. Do not use your neighbor’s driveways or carports without prior permission.

LOT ASSIGNMENT OF RV’S: Management reserves the right to reassign lots. Lots rented by the day, week or month may be reassigned if someone desires to rent the lot on a yearly basis. Without a deposit on a lot, reservation may be cancelled or changed by management.

LOT MAINTENANCE: Owners of mobile homes are responsible for mowing, trimming, weeding flower bed(s), raking, pruning bushes and other needed yard work. The weather in South Texas has changed and we are seeing that the mowing of yards needs to be done more often. Please remember that as you hire someone to do your mowing. Park will trim trees on an as needed basis. Please notify Park Office of tree trimming needs. Residents must not cut down any trees or bushes without permission from Management. If someone other than the resident or Park personnel do any yard work, they are responsible for the removal of any branches and/or yard waste. No yard or landscaping services may be performed by Park employees except after working hours and with prior approval of Management. Residents herewith understand that any park employee working for the resident is not insured by the Park. Nor does the Park guarantee any work performed. The resident herewith holds the Park, its employees, agents and owners harmless from any damage, injury or otherwise when employing any Park personnel.

The owner and tenant must maintain the lot his/her mobile home is on or he/she is occupying free and clear of all rubbish, materials, stacks or piles of anything, neat and clean at all times. Please realize that due to the lack of opaque fencing and limited size of lots, anything and everything on one’s lot has a large impact on ones neighbors, the livability of their home and even safety. Any accumulation of material or rubbish quickly attracts insects, rodent and snakes looking for a home. Additionally it renders the park unsightly which harms everyone – each and every tenant and the park alike. The park has the right but not obligation to clean up the lot and remove and dispose of anything in violation. Failure to comply with this provision is a serious violation of rules which is likely to lead to eviction if not cured in a timely manner.

Numbers 1 -100 are at the South Hall and their mailing address is 2801 East Harrison Ave. All other Mobile Homes and RV rows A & B have boxes at the North Hall and their mailing address is 2803 East Harrison Ave. RV rows C-D-E-F have mail slots in the South Hall across from the office.

If the resident leaves his lot in an unsightly manner the Park will do necessary cleanup and the resident will be charged for the work performed.

SALE OF UNIT: We would like to purchase your unit. Before advertising your units please check with the Park office to see if the Park would be interested in purchasing your unit. This will save you advertising expenses and the hassle of showing your unit to strangers. We reserve the first right of refusal. For any units that are sold to be removed from the Park, the Park reserves the right to match the price and keep the unit in the Park. By signing these rules you are granting the Park first right of refusal. Removing a home from the Park causes a decrease in occupancy and many park tenants would like to rent or buy a used home. Therefore we want to keep every home in the park for the use of its tenants and not have it removed from the Park. If you sell your unit to someone who is keeping the unit in the Park the buyer needs to register with the Park office and sign all required paperwork before buying and occupying your unit. If a unit is sold and is going to be moved out of the Park and the Park does not match your offer, a $300 moving deposit is required before unit can be physically moved. All bills must be paid in full before unit leaves Eastgate Mobile Home and RV Park. (See MOVING-OUT OF PERMANENT UNITS above)
