<div dir="ltr"><font face="arial, sans-serif"><font color="#000000">I don't think the AG's opinion is the end all in this scenario. However, I think that if the Camp has allowed owners to use the property as a residence for that long, then it's not really a camp for those particular people (anymore). Similar to the circumstance where an owner of a short term residential rental property (STR) lets people remain in the residence for 30 days or more - now it's not a STR but is now subject to the RLTA. That being said, if these were the only individuals staying that long, then I'm not sure I buy the AG's position that the entire property's use is now subject to 59.20. Rather, just these individuals' space might be. So you COULD argue that if this is the only space that has been used for a year or more in this way, that it does not qualify as a "Mobile Home Park" under RCW 59.20 because<span style="font-size:16px;text-indent:48px"> "Mobile home park,"... is defined by RCW 59.20.030(14) and is rented or held out for rent to others for the placement of <u style="">two or more mobile homes</u>, manufactured homes, or park models for the primary purpose of production of income, <u style="">except where such real property is rented or held out for rent for seasonal recreational purpose only and is not intended for year-round occupancy..."</u></span></font></font><div><br></div><div>I have always struggled with this idea that the MLTA would include RVs which can just be driven away without all the effort of costs of moving a manufactured home. </div><div><br></div><div>Kaitlyn</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Feb 16, 2022 at 1:28 PM <<a href="mailto:Jeff@bellanddavispllc.com">Jeff@bellanddavispllc.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-US" style="overflow-wrap: break-word;"><div class="gmail-m_8073386020147011311WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal">A camp is intended to be truly short term. A few days, weeks. Here, of course, the clients allow the RV’s to stay for months. Usually no one stays that long as these are intended to be vacation destinations. Which law applies, in some cases, depends on how long the camp/park allow people to stay. I have seen some limit stays to no more than three months, or even six months; but then requires the RV’s to be moved. If the AG is involved, to them its fatal to allow an RV stay more than a year; even if it can start up and move, the AG will consider the RV camp to now be a manufactured home community.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:Tahoma,sans-serif">W.
