This board can regulate how much occupants pay, set living standards, handle evictions, and require information from park owners. It can impose fines for violations and adjust payment rates for fairness. The board can enforce rules and ensure fair income for park operations. It operates under state administrative law and has jurisdiction in district and superior courts.
