AI Summary

This bill allows the town of Plainville to regulate rents and control evictions in mobile home park accommodations. It establishes a rent board with the power to regulate rents, set minimum standards for mobile home park accommodations, and issue binding orders on both owners and tenants. The rent board can make adjustments to rents to ensure a fair net operating income for owners, considering factors like property taxes, operating expenses, and capital improvements. The bill also provides the rent board with the same legal standing as a state agency, allowing for judicial review of its orders, and grants the district and superior courts jurisdiction to enforce the law.
