Running a trailer park means juggling rent collection, lease agreements, pet rules, and community policies — often at the same time, often without dedicated staff. Most park owners do all of it manually: spreadsheets for rent, Word docs for leases, and a printed sheet of rules taped to the office door.
There's a better way. Here are four free trailer park management tools that handle each of these jobs — built specifically for mobile home park operators, no signup required.

The 4 Tools
1. Rent Roll Calculator
Before you can manage your park effectively, you need to know what it's actually worth — and where you're losing money. The Rent Roll Calculator takes your lot count, current occupancy rate, and rent per lot to calculate monthly and annual gross revenue. It also shows you the real cost of vacant lots and what a 5% occupancy improvement is worth in annual dollars.
Enter your numbers, get your full rent roll projection in seconds. No spreadsheet formulas, no manual math. Useful for setting rent increases, planning capital improvements, or presenting park financials to a lender.
2. Lease Agreement Template
Paper leases get lost. Generic templates miss the clauses that matter in a mobile home park — lot rent vs. home rent, utility responsibilities, common area rules, and termination procedures specific to manufactured housing. The Lease Agreement Template generates a 10-section lease tailored to your park's terms.
Enter your park name, rent amount, lease length, pet policy, late fee structure, and security deposit. The tool generates a complete, professional lease document you can copy, print, or adapt. Covers grace periods, maintenance responsibilities, rules compliance, and early termination — the clauses most disputes come down to.
3. Pet Policy Generator
Pet rules are one of the most common sources of tenant disputes in mobile home parks. Without a clear, written policy, you're operating on vibes — which doesn't hold up when a 90-pound dog moves in that a tenant swore was "under the limit." The Pet Policy Generator builds a complete pet policy in under two minutes.
Set whether pets are allowed, the maximum number per lot, weight limits (10–100 lbs), pet deposit amounts, monthly pet fees, breed restrictions, and ADA/FHA compliance language. The tool generates a clean policy document you can attach to leases or post in your park office. It also includes a revenue calculator — if you charge $35/month per pet across 40 lots with 50% adoption, that's $8,400/year you may not be capturing.
4. Park Rules Generator
Every tenant dispute about noise, parking, or yard maintenance traces back to unclear rules — or rules that exist but weren't handed to tenants in writing. The Park Rules Generator creates a complete 10-section park rules document covering every area that typically generates conflict.
Set your quiet hours (default 10pm–7am), speed limit (5–25 mph slider), guest policy (consecutive nights before registration required), vehicle limits, yard maintenance standards, trash and recycling schedule, common area access (pool and laundry hours), parking rules, home modification permissions, and more. The live preview updates as you go — copy the finished document or print it. Attach to leases or post in common areas.
Why These Four?
Rent, leases, pets, and rules aren't the only things park managers deal with — but they're where most of the paperwork and disputes originate. Each of these tools targets a specific failure point:
- Rent calculator: most owners don't know their actual vacancy loss in dollar terms until it's time to sell or refinance
- Lease template: generic leases miss manufactured housing specifics; disputes happen in the gaps
- Pet policy: verbal policies don't hold up; uncollected pet fees are money left on the table
- Park rules: rules tenants didn't receive in writing can't be enforced
All four tools are free. No account required — enter your information, get your document. They're available at the LotBoard free tools hub alongside everything else we're building for independent park operators.
When You're Ready to Go Digital
These tools solve the documentation problem. But managing a park digitally — collecting rent online, tracking maintenance tickets, managing leases with tenant signatures, running a full tenant portal — that's a different layer. That's what LotBoard's admin platform handles.
LotBoard is built specifically for trailer park and mobile home park operators. Not generic property management software with a "parks" checkbox — lot-based, community-specific, and priced for independent operators (not enterprise). See pricing →
