Rules + Regulations: 2020

These rules and regulations have been compiled to help make the Hacienda Mobile Home Park a pleasurable environment for all its residents. Please read these pages and store them in a convenient place for referral during the year. You may also print them out directly from this website.

The Hacienda Mobile Home Park is classified as a Housing for Older Persons community. One member of each household must be 55 years of age or older and reside in the home. All others must be over 45 years of age.  However, special arrangements can be made on a case-by-case basis in a caretaking situation. A physician’s letter would be required to verify this need.  Any caretaker would have to be over the age of 18 years and engaged full time as a caretaker for the senior resident.

The occupancy of each mobile home is limited to two persons per bedroom plus one other person.

a).  Maintenance of driveways is the responsibility of each homeowner.  Because water causes asphalt to deteriorate, our streets and driveways will last much longer if they are swept instead of washed.  Residents are requested to avoid excessive watering and washing of patios and carports causing runoff onto the streets.  If a driveway needs to be washed occasionally, be sure that the water is hosed toward the back of the lot and not out into the street.  It is the responsibility of each resident to inform any hired help of this requirement.
