Where "prior approval" is required the park owner shall put the matter to a vote of the residents (on the basis of one vote per household) and "prior approval" shall mean 50 percent plus one of the total number of households that cast votes. 30 days prior to putting the matter to a vote or, in the case of a replacement or rehabilitated capital improvement that does not require a vote, 30 days before incurring the costs for such improvement, the park owner shall inform the residents of the proposed capital improvement, its estimated costs, and the estimated increase in monthly rents and for what length of time the rent would be increased.
