Choose the correct main notice first
Use RTB-56A when there is no park committee and RTB-56B when a park committee exists. The landlord gives affected tenants the completed main notice and full updated park rulebook, with RTB-57 attached for any overflow. The current Manufactured Home Park Tenancy Regulation requires at least three months’ advance notice of rule changes, subject to the specific rules for landlord-initiated changes.
Complete each change without paraphrasing
RTB-57 has three change types. Select the appropriate option for each additional proposed change:
- Add a rule: Select “Add a new park rule.” Leave the Current box blank and enter the complete new wording in New, exactly as it will appear in the rulebook.
- Remove a rule: Select “Remove a park rule.” Copy the full existing rule into Current, exactly as written in the current rulebook. Leave New blank.
- Change a rule: Select “Change a park rule.” Copy the entire existing text into Current and the entire replacement text into New. This lets tenants compare the precise change.
Attach and serve the complete package
Keep RTB-57 with the signed RTB-56A or RTB-56B and the complete revised park rules in a common readable font of at least 12 points. When the committee process is involved, include the records of its rule-change vote as required by RTB-56B. Serve each tenant using a legally permitted method, allow for deemed receipt and keep delivery evidence. Do not list a change only in the revised rulebook: changes not identified in the notice package may be unenforceable.
Which park rules are allowed?
Under the Manufactured Home Park Tenancy Regulation, new or revised rules must be reasonable and relate to tenant convenience or safety, protection of the park or landlord’s property, fair use of services or facilities, or pets in common areas. The rules must apply fairly, be clear enough to follow and not conflict with legislation or alter a material tenancy-agreement term. A tenant may apply to the RTB to dispute an invalid or unreasonably implemented rule.
Common mistakes
Serving RTB-57 alone, selecting the wrong committee form, paraphrasing an existing rule instead of copying it exactly, forgetting to attach the full rulebook or required committee vote records, or counting less than three months’ notice.
