The filter for mobile/manufactured tends to work quite well and already does part of what is requested.
But the slot-rent??? I'm sure Zillow would add it if you could find a good data source for such information. It is not in the public records. And Zillow doesn't get feeds from the MLS even if it was there, but one agent already stated it wasn't there either.
Zillow does "rent Zestimates" by modeling the public records data to the "rent advertised" properties on Zillow. For some reason, the advertisers are not advertising slot rent for Mobile parks. Even if they were, Zillow tends to specialize in housing units, thus land rental is a bit more complex. The data just doesn't seem to be there.
It looks to me that you actually have to call the mobile park and ask.
Obviously, Zillow doesn't have access to HOA fees either, which is just as critical in some neighborhoods.

There is no good source in most areas for typical slot rent so that might be hard for Zillow to do. I thought that Zillow did have a filter for manufactured houses that included mobiles at least for sale if not for rent.

I can't give you a definitive answer. However, I can tell you that even a lot of MLS services (from with Zillow gets its information) don't provide a place to enter that data.
Where I am, for instance, there isn't a separate category for "lot lease." A lot of agents will put the amount under "Condo/HOA fees." Not perfect, but that's probably the best solution. A few will put the figure under "Utilities."
And, again, where I am, the MLS does have a separate category for "mobile/manufactured homes." But that isn't always reliable. What I tend to do--because there's a big enough spread between prices for mobile/manufactured homes and stick-built ones, is to search by price. Anything priced between $5,000 and $50,000 or so (for a 2+ bedroom) is very likely a mobile/manufactured home.
Hope that helps.

Why doesn't Zillow show the monthly space rent for mobile homes or modular homes in parks?
