ARE YOU THINKING OF MOVING INTO A
LAND-LEASE VILLAGE IN VICTORIA
OR YOU ARE ALREADY LIVING IN ONE?
MHOA Vic can assist you.
The MHOA Vic committee members are all residents living in land-lease villages and due to their lived experience, and their knowledge of the Residential Tenancies Act for Part 4A villages, a free information booklet has been produced.
The booklet explains most things you need to know about buying, living and selling in land lease villages.
It also provides a list of questions to ask in order for you to make informed decisions and also explains the challenges that may arise when you are living in a land-lease village.
Our booklet covers the various aspects of buying into a village, and then living in one.
- Site Agreements including Exit Fees, Legislation.
- Living in a village, including rules, rights and obligations of residents and site owners, dispute resolution, rental fees with their associated annual increases, utilities and other charges.
- Resident Committees, maintenance responsibilities.

MHOA Victoria
Manufactured Home Owners Association (Vic) Inc, (MHOA Victoria), a not-for-profit organization, was formed in 2022 with the objective to promote, advance, maintain and safeguard the combined and individual interests of manufactured home owners throughout Victoria.
This encompasses all residents who own their own home yet pay site rent under a Land-Lease agreement. In other words, you own your home but pay your landlord site rent for the land on which it stands. These are often referred to as relocatable homes.
MHOA Victoria is advocating to the Victorian State Government for changes to the Residential Tenancies Act 1997, Part 4A for better protections for those who have chosen to live in a Manufactured Home Village, the majority of whom are aged pensioners on fixed incomes.
Land-Lease Residential Villages represent a fast-growing type of housing Australia-wide. In Victoria, this is home to 20,000 older residents, offering an attractive proposition of independence and access to the community
Our Goals
PROTECT

PROMOTE

EDUCATE

We believe in the power of the collective, and we believe in you. The more of us there are, the more we can achieve.

MHOA Victoria Summary Agenda 2025/26
MHOA Victoria’s immediate priority is to advocate for amendments to the Residential Tenancies Act 1997, Part 4A. In its current form the Act offers very limited protection for home owners. This Agenda is a plan of action and a list of our demands to the Victorian Government on behalf of all home owners in Manufactured Home Villages.
