Maintaining the quality and safety of your park
Conducting credit, criminal, eviction, and sex offender checks for long-term RV park guests is crucial in maintaining the quality and safety of your park. This practice is highly effective for landlords and property managers, and RV park owners and managers can reap the same benefits. Recently an RV park in Florida required all residents to complete a background check, even if they had been staying there for years. The park had too many issues with a small but impactful number unruly and disruptive guests that were making life miserable for the other guests and the park manager.
Preventing Unwanted Ejections at RV Parks
Every RV park owner has heard horror stories about problematic campers. ARVC’s blog post titled “When it’s time for a guest to go” https://arvc.org/Blog/20/When-It-s-Time-for-a-Guest-to-Go discusses this issue. While they avoid using the term ‘eviction’ as it’s technically not accurate, the end goal remains the same – removing the problematic guest from the park.
The best way to avoid having to eject guests is by preventing problem guests from staying at your park in the first place. This can be easily and quickly achieved by making a background screening a mandatory part of the application process.

The applicant then receives an email from the owner/manager detailing the process and providing a link to their application.
