PARK RULES FOR JACKS HILL PARK

Following Consultation started 1st September 2014

The following Park Rules are for the good management of the Park and the benefit of all who live here. These rules form part of the Agreement by which you occupy your pitch in accordance with the Mobile Homes Act 1983, as amended. They are in addition to, and as further clarification of, the "Implied" and "Express" terms of that Agreement. It is hoped that all Occupiers will do everything possible to make the Park a happy community and a credit to all concerned.

In these rules:

• "Occupier" means anyone who occupies a park home, whether under an Agreement to which the Mobile Homes Act 1983 applies or under a tenancy or any other agreement.
• "you" and "your" refers to the homeowner or other occupier of a park home.
• "we", "our” and "us" refers to the park owner.

None of these rules is to have retrospective effect. Accordingly:

• They are to apply only from the date on which they take effect, which is 10th December 2014; and
• No occupier who is in occupation on that date will be treated as being in breach due to circumstances which were in existence on that date and which would not have been a breach of the rules in existence before that date.

1. Occupiers must comply with Site Licence conditions issued by North Herts District Council.
