### Subtitle 7. Covenant of Quiet Enjoyment; Rights of Entry

#### Section 8A-701

(a) A park owner shall assure the resident that the resident, peaceably and quietly, may enter on the leased premises at the beginning of the term of any lease.

(b) If the park owner fails to provide the resident with possession of the site at the beginning of the term of any lease, the rent payable under the rental agreement shall abate until possession is delivered. The resident on written notice to the park owner before possession is delivered may terminate, cancel, and rescind the rental agreement.

#### Section 8A-702

On termination of the rental agreement under this subtitle, the park owner shall refund to the resident all money or property given as prepaid rent, deposit, or security.

#### Section 8A-703

If due to the fault of the park owner, the park owner fails to provide the resident with possession of the site at the beginning of the term of any lease, whether or not the lease is terminated under this section, the park owner is liable to the prospective resident for consequential damages actually suffered by him subsequent to the prospective resident giving notice to the park owner of his inability to enter on the leased premises.

#### Section 8A-704

(a) A park owner has at all reasonable times a right of entry onto the mobile home site to repair or replace any utility and to protect the park. Except in the case of an emergency, the entry may not be made in a manner and at a time that interferes unreasonably with the quiet enjoyment of the site by the resident.

(b) Except in the case of an emergency or to prevent imminent danger to a mobile home or its occupant, a park owner does not have any right of entry to the mobile home without the prior written consent of the resident. The resident may revoke at any time and in writing a consent to entry.
