Am I wrong to think this way or is this standard procedure elsewhere and we're just catching up to the times all at once here? I'd love to hear what others have experienced in their seasonal agreements.
While the reason mentioned is really dependent upon the state laws where the property is located - you are also seeing a standardization across the company.
The basic issue is what 'rights' you have.
As an overnight RV spot occupant - you have no rights. If the management decides for any reason that you are not wanted - they can tell you to leave - with no refunds. And you have to leave. Period.
However, longer term folks - and a seasonal spot owner would be one in almost any state - have "resident rights". They have to be evicted by a legal process. The information they asked for is essential for that process.
Though you have paid for the spot for the season - have you already paid up front for utilities.
Paying for a spot and/or paying utilities monthly basically is the park giving you credit - and a credit application is not unexpected.
