Many states, including Rhode Island, have enacted statutes that set limits on the eviction of mobile home park tenants in consideration of their special circumstances. See generally Jay M. Zitter, Annotation, Validity, Construction, and Application of Mobile Home Eviction Statutes, 43 A.L.R.5th 705 (1996). Mobile homes present an economic housing alternative, but frequently are restricted to placements in mobile home parks. The resulting shortage of sites for mobile homes and the generally unequal bargaining position of tenants can lead to abuses by the landlord. Id. at 719.
