Manufactured Housing Tenant Rights: New Protections for Mobile Home Residents.

This Act mandates minimum consumer protections for residents of manufactured home communities whose owners use federally backed financing. Citizens gain stability through guaranteed one-year leases, extended notice periods for rent increases, and strong safeguards against unfair evictions. Owners who violate these rights face severe financial penalties and loss of access to future federal loans.
Key points
Park owners must provide tenants with one-year, renewable leases and a minimum 60-day written notice for any rent or charge increases, including justification.
Tenants gain the right to sell their manufactured home in place, even after eviction, and the right to assign the lease to the new buyer.
Severe penalties, including financial restitution to tenants and a ban on future federal financing, are imposed on owners who willfully violate these new consumer protections.
