Bill Summary

To (1) cap rent increases and ancillary fees imposed by mobile manufactured home park owners, (2) establish additional enforcement measures and penalties concerning mobile manufactured home park owners, (3) subject certain files to the Freedom of Information Act, (4) modify the method by which mobile manufactured homes are appraised, (5) modify the amount of relocation expenses paid to mobile manufactured home park residents, and (6) require mobile manufactured home park owners to submit reports to the Department of Consumer protection concerning fire hydrant water capacity and flow.

AI Summary

This bill introduces several significant changes to regulations governing mobile manufactured home parks in Connecticut, with an effective date of October 1, 2025 for most provisions. The bill caps rent increases by limiting them to no more than the consumer price index increase plus one percent annually, defines and restricts "ancillary fees" to a maximum of $15 per year, and increases relocation expenses for residents forced to move due to park closures from $10,000 to $20,000. The legislation also enhances enforcement measures for park owners by giving the Department of Consumer Protection more authority to investigate and penalize violations, including the ability to suspend licenses, impose fines, and require independent inspection reports. Additionally, the bill mandates that park owners submit annual reports about fire hydrant water capacity and flow, creates a process for residents to file complaints about park violations, and makes various inspection reports and documents subject to public disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. The bill aims to provide greater protection and transparency for mobile manufactured home park residents by establishing clearer rules about rent increases, fees, relocation expenses, and park maintenance standards, while giving residents more recourse when park owners fail to meet regulatory requirements.
