Regulation 3
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
The Mobile Homes Act 1983 (“the 1983 Act”) applies to all agreements under which persons are entitled to station a mobile home on a protected site and occupy it as their only or main residence. The 1983 Act provides that before such an agreement is entered into the site owner must give to the proposed occupier of the mobile home a written statement which must include the matters specified in section 1(2)(a) to (d) of the 1983 Act and must comply with such other requirements as may be prescribed by Scottish Ministers by regulations.
These Regulations specify that the written statement must be in the form set out in the Schedule.
Part 1 of the Schedule contains information about the occupier’s rights under the agreement.
Part 2 of the Schedule sets out the main provisions of the agreement. These are name and address of the parties, particulars of the land, pitch fee, its review and additional charges.
Part 3 of the Schedule sets out the terms to be implied by section 2(1) of the 1983 Act.
Part 4 of the Schedule contains other express terms of the agreement.
These Regulations revoke the Mobile Homes (Written Statement) Regulations 1983.
