(a) A landlord of a manufactured or mobile home land lease community shall provide written notice to all of the community’s tenants who own their manufactured or mobile homes at least one hundred twenty (120) days prior to requiring such tenants to vacate the property due to a change in use of the property.  In cases where more than one hundred twenty (120) days remain on a current lease, the longer time period shall apply for purposes of providing notice pursuant to this section.  The landlord shall not increase the rent, except for rent increase based solely on an increase in property taxes, for any tenant of the manufactured or mobile home land lease community during the sixty (60) day period prior to providing such notice or at any time after providing such notice.

    (b) Nothing in this section shall be construed as prohibiting a landlord  from evicting a tenant with less than one hundred twenty (120) days’ notice for a violation of the lease or as otherwise provided by law.
