BILL NUMBER:S1360
Title of bill
An act to amend the real property law, in relation to campgrounds
Purpose
Provides for the removal of persons from campgrounds by the owner or operator thereof, or his or her agent.
Summary of provisions
Adds a new section, 233-b to the Real Property Law, which seeks to define campgrounds and a campground owner and to provide for the removal of persons from a campground who, among other things, create a disturbance or otherwise violate lawful regulations promulgated by the campground owner, Also provides for the return of pre-paid fees and the disposal of property belonging of persons who are removed from a campground or abandon property on a campground.
Justification
There is no direct law dealing with the removal of guests from campgrounds. As a result, many courts attempt to create a landlord-tenant relationship, where it should be a licensor-licensee relationship. Worse yet, other courts have also considered campgrounds to be mobile home parks, which are subject-for good reason- to extremely protracted eviction proceedings. There is also no clear and effective way to dispose of property that is left behind by a camper who is either removed from a campground or abandons property on a campground. This bill seeks to address these issues.
