Protections for Mobile Home Park Residents

The bill establishes and clarifies financial protections for mobile home park residents. A landlord of a mobile home park is required to notify residents that the landlord is temporarily prohibited from increasing rent. Under current law, a landlord is required to send notice to residents when the landlord intends to sell the mobile home park. The bill clarifies what information must be included in the notice that the landlord sends to residents of the park. The notice must include financial and maintenance information related to the rental and operation of the mobile home park and information related to the buyer's offer to purchase the mobile home park. The bill requires the landlord and any potential buyer to conduct the sale of the mobile home park at arms-length and in good faith. The bill establishes certain parameters related to the registration fee that must be paid by a landlord of a mobile home park and limits the amount that the landlord may charge each resident to cover the registration fee at $17.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)
