Just curious -- do you rent the MH or do you own the MH and just rent the spot? Earlier poster is correct -- I would bet that your residence falls under the SFH guidelines which makes the tenant responsible for pest control (theory is, the tenant is is complete control of the living environment since no wall adjoin another residence). You're doing the right thing, doing your research on this -- be sure to run a google search and see if anything clarifies this.

I rent. I do not on the home or the land it sits on. I went through my lease and there is NOTHING about pest control. I know it isn't the property owners fault. I know bugs can be carried in or they can find a way in when its cold or they need food. I just thought it was funny that these dirty people (and I mean dirty. The outside looked bad with random stuff scattered about. I shutter to think what it looked like inside.) just moved out and BAM, I have a large German roach in my kitchen.

I just posted about how my sister said she saw a roach when I first moved in here. It was supposedly only 1 bug, one of which I never saw. I called the office, they had someone come out with no problem. I was assuming they would do it again since that's how it happened 6 years ago.

I was taken back by how rude the new staff is the office. I was caught off guard thinking they would simply come back out like before. I will take care of it of they don't. It isn't a real issue. I can afford it but I didn't want to pay for it if it was their problem to fix. I just didn't know.
