Bill > HB5158

This bill amends the Mobile Home Commission Act to provide a procedure for a mobile home park owner to declare a mobile home abandoned. The key provisions include: 1) The requirements that must be met for a mobile home to be considered abandoned, such as a court order restoring possession of the premises to the park owner, the mobile home being unoccupied for at least 90 days or rent not being paid for at least 10 days, and the mobile home owner's indebtedness being delinquent. 2) The steps the park owner must take before declaring a mobile home abandoned, including calculating the fair market value of the mobile home, affixing a notice of intent on the mobile home, and sending copies of the notice and valuation to the mobile home owner and lienholders. 3) The requirement for the Secretary of State to notify the mobile home owner and lienholders upon receiving the park owner's notice of intent to declare the mobile home abandoned. 4) The process for the park owner to obtain title to the abandoned mobile home if it remains in the park for at least 30 days (if unencumbered) or 60 days (if encumbered) after the Secretary of State's notice. 5) The requirement for the park owner to pay the mobile home owner the excess of the fair market value over the owed rent and fees, and the provisions for handling any remaining balance. This bill is tied to several other bills related to mobile homes.
