Mobile Home Site Issues: What Residents and Landlords Told Us

Official title: Mobile home site issues engagement

Closed Policy & Studies Housing & Communities Justice & Rights
Alberta asked mobile home residents and landlords about challenges they face—things like site maintenance, affordability, and safety. The engagement ran from late 2020 to early 2021. Based on what people shared, the province has developed new resources to help both sides understand their rights and responsibilities.

Why This Matters

Live in a mobile home park? This was your chance to flag problems that can't be solved through dispute resolution alone. Issues like crumbling infrastructure, rising lot fees, or safety concerns affect thousands of Albertans. The feedback shaped new guidance resources now available.

What Could Change

The province used this input to develop educational resources for mobile home residents and landlords. These explain responsibilities under the Mobile Home Sites Tenancies Act and point to available supports. Future policy or legislative changes may still follow.

Key Issues

  • How can site maintenance standards be improved?
  • What infrastructure problems exist in mobile home communities?
  • How can affordability challenges be addressed?
  • What health, safety, and security concerns need attention?

How to Participate

  1. This consultation is now closed. Review the Mobile Home Sites Tenancies Act to understand current rules.
  2. Read the new resource guide: Living in a mobile home community in Alberta.

What Happened

Virtual stakeholder roundtables concluded in February 2021, and an online survey closed December 13, 2020. The input helped the province understand barriers in the current system. As a result, additional resources have been developed to help mobile home site residents and landlords understand their responsibilities and available supports.
