A:
In Michigan, if you own your trailer but rent the lot, your lease agreement with the park likely has specific terms about occupancy. Allowing someone to move in without notifying the park could be a violation of your lease. It's important to review your lease agreement to understand the rules regarding additional occupants.
Since the person living with you isn't added to the lease and there's no agreement of payment, this could cause issues with the park management. They may require you to register all occupants for safety and compliance reasons. Failing to do so might lead to penalties, increased rent, or even eviction.
To avoid potential problems, consider informing the park management about the new occupant. Explain the situation and see if you can add them to the lease officially. Being transparent can help maintain a good relationship with the park management and ensure you're abiding by the terms of your lease.
