15.04.170 Obligations of the parties.

(A) If, after the park owner's proposed effective date of a noticed rent increase, the arbitrator finds that the proposed increase or any portion thereof that was previously inoperative is justified, all affected residents shall pay the amount found justified to the park owner within sixty days after the decision is made, unless the arbitrator sets a different time frame for payment.

(B) If the arbitrator finds that an increase or any portion thereof is not justified, the park owner shall refund any amount found to be unjustified, but that had been paid, to all affected residents within sixty days of the arbitrator's decision unless the arbitrator sets a different time frame for payment. If such refund is not made within the sixty-day period, the resident(s) may withhold the amount from the next space rent(s) due until the full amount of the refund has been made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the tenancy of an affected resident is terminated for any reason prior to full credit of the refund against rent, the balance of the credit due the resident shall be paid by the park owner within sixty days from the date of termination of the tenancy.

(C) Any sum of money that under the provisions of this section is the obligation of the park owner or resident to pay, as the case may be, shall constitute a debt and, subject to the foregoing provisions of this section, may be collected in any manner provided by law for the collection of debts.
