under that Act apply to certain residential tenancy agreements under which the
residential premises consist of a moveable dwelling, or a site on which a
moveable dwelling is situated, or both. That Act does not apply to premises
ordinarily used for holiday purposes. The Residential Parks Act 1998 also
provides rights to information for prospective residents of residential parks.
