State law changed allowing visitors’ status to change to standard tenancy which would change ability to evict a tenant through the court process on the 31st day. Reducing the stay to 28 days gives adequate warning to staff management that guests will not overstay their reservation.• Taylor also asked for the park policy to change its refund policy, allowing refunds upon five day notice, less a $15 cancellation fee.
