Mobile Home Tenant Protection: New Rights and Financing Rules

This act introduces new rules for mobile home community owners who use federal financial support. They must provide residents with minimum protections, such as longer lease terms, clear rent increase rules, and the ability to sell their home on-site. The goal is to protect tenants from unfair practices and ensure greater stability.
Key points
Mobile home community owners using federal loans must offer one-year lease terms with renewal options.
Tenants will receive 60-day written notice of rent increases or new charges, with justification and details.
The act provides a 5-day grace period for rent payments and a right to cure defaults.
Residents gain the right to sell their manufactured home in place, without having to relocate it.
Community owners must provide 60-day advance written notice of planned sale or closure of the community.
Financial penalties are imposed on owners who fail to comply, including a ban on future federal financing for at least 3 years.
