Renting The Lot, Owning The Home
Real Prop. Law § 233 — ninety days before a fee goes up, and listed reasons to evict
In New York, a manufactured home park owner may not evict a manufactured home tenant except for the reasons the section lists, among them nonpayment of rent after a written demand with at least thirty days notice, and a lease or rule violation that continues after notice.
Ninety days before a fee goes up. No fee, charge, assessment or rental fee may be increased without naming the date it takes effect, and that date is no less than ninety days after written notice to all manufactured home tenants. Fees not fully disclosed cannot be collected, and refusing to pay them is not a cause for eviction.
Paying ends the case. When the delinquent rent and allowable costs are accepted, a case for nonpayment is terminated.
Rule violations. The tenant gets written notice to correct or stop a violation within ten days of receiving it; if it continues, the owner may serve written notice to vacate within thirty days of receipt.
Ninety days before the warrant. The officer executing an eviction warrant gives at least ninety days written notice to those to be evicted, and executes it between sunrise and sunset. The court may order only thirty days notice where the conditions the section sets are met.

Rent increases are also governed by section 233-b, and leases, rules and changes of use have their own provisions in this long section. Whether a notice or reason was adequate is a question for a licensed New York attorney.
